I named this Dollhouse Miniature Needlepoint Pattern VERA to honor my Mom. Translating from Russian into English "Vera" means "Faith".

I started working on this pattern 4 years ago. I charted some borders and corners of the rug. Being impatient by nature, I wanted to see how this rug would look like stitched on silk gauze. I started stitching it.
During last 4 years I kept working on it periodically adding stitch here and there without any inspiration to finish the pattern. This is how my rug looked like last time I touched it in November 2014.
One Saturday at the end of March I picked up the hoop with the framed rug on it and... I knew exactly what to do. It took me about 5 hours to finish charting the pattern: the main border and the field. 5 hours! I've been waiting for that inspirational moment for 4 years!
There are 243 x 421 stitches, Gutermann silk
The rug measures
4.96" x 8.59" if to stitch on 49 count silk gauze
6.08" x 10.53" if to stitch on 40 count silk gauze

Hi Natalia! This is absolutely gorgeous, what a stunning design! How lovely that it's a tribute to your Mom, Vera.
It's true that sometimes things have to wait until the time is there to do it. At least I feel it that way, when I have plans for making something in miniature, that has to ripen.
Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend/holiday.
Warm hug, Ilona
It is a beautiful design.
Better late than never... ;O) What a beautiful design - just the right pattern to honor your Mom!
Happy Easter wishes

Good things take time ;-) It's beautiful Natalia.
Those pure streams of inspiration are awesome when they come! This design is beautiful. Your love of needlework stirs me to want to put out mine... then I think of the work involved. :) I admire the persistance and passion it takes to complete a work like this. Blessings, Sherri-Lee
