If you've read my blog for any length of time, you probably know I have quite a love (obsession) for all things Parisian. I fell in love with Paris when I visited it for the first time 5 years ago and that love was once again renewed when I was there this past July. (Although, as an aside, I must say that I greatly preferred Paris at the end of September rather than Paris in July...so many more tourists in July, particularly since we were there for the July 14th Fete Nationale!)
I know many bloggers who have completed some lovely projects by Chatelaine Designs, particularly the mandalas, but so far none of the designs have really called to me (although the Hawaiian Garden Mandala could still be a strong contender). For some reason I was browsing around the Chatelaine website the other evening and came across the newest design, Paris Mandala:
WOW!! How gorgeous is this piece? This will be an online class starting at the beginning of December and actually there are two designs: one with 4 different sides (the one I've shown) and one with all 4 sides the same. So tempting...

Go for it (says a Chatelaine addict ;-)
And the Castle in the previous post: beautiful!
Do it, Christine! I have Chatelaine's Alpine Seasons as a WIP, and they are really beautiful designs to work on. The silks are wonderful, and the different stitches she incorporates into the designs are a nice change of pace. They look AMAZING when stitched. And I agree with you, the Paris Mandala looks truly beautiful. Your only question should be.. "Which fabric will I stitch it on???" ;)
It's a beauty, for sure. :) You know I'm a Chatelaine fan. But, rather than try to persuade you, I'll just say that if you purchase and stitch a Chatelaine, you will not be sorry you did.
*sigh* I really didn't need to see this! LOL I hope she offers this as a chartpack after the online class is finished. There's just no way I can do the online class in 2012 with my current work load & class load for school.
