Third time's the charm....

Well..I have wanted to finish this the prior two weekends but to no avail. I was able to join some new stitching friends yesterday and made good progress. I put the last stitch in Saturday night and am really happy with it. Hopefully, I can have it framed soon. I think I will celebrate by starting something new.

La D Da "Old Glory Angel"

Ah....the joys of finishing. I spent some time today working on finishing and it proved to be a chore! I was so hoping to have a lot of stuff to show, but it is only half-way done.


Trying to find just the right fabric led to reorganizing my bin of fabric and that resulted in a two hour diversion. Once I got back on track, my sewing machine started giving me fits and my patience wore thin. After some tough love and choice words, it began to cooperate and I trudged through. I still need to stuff the little pillows and ornaments but hope to finish this week. Had hoped to stitch today but it just never came to be. Oh well....think I will make it an early evening. Happy stitches!

    Great finish!! She is really beautiful. Don't we all have to go through that "let's get these finished up" once in a while...not always fun, but usually worth it in the end. Hope you have enough stuffing.
