The oldest work in progress is finished. It took avery long time, the journey with this one was along the long and adventure filled road. After almost 24 years this one is done.
The squirrel on the broom with autumn leaves and nuts was the final piece of the puzzle.
It will be framed in due course.
Took a break for a short while, needed border fabrics for this playmat panel but did not have the right fabrics for it.
The Sewing Cafe had two fabrics which was just perfect.
Made the binding with one of them. Will machine quilt this piece shortly.
On our walk the other evening we saw the beaver, he was swimming up stream for his dinner.
The elusive blue heron hunting for his dinner, manage to get a picture before he flew away to his normal perch spot in the tree.
I can't believe that the cross stitch is finished. So many stitches crossed. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cross stitch piece you have just finished. What is 24 years in the scheme of things, no doubt you were working on lots of other things in the mean time. I'm currently working again on a 30 year old project!
ReplyDeleteThey are such fun.
DeleteWow! Such a gorgeous finish! I did not realize that she had produced cross stitch patterns. I can see why it took so long to stitch. Cute playmat too! Is this for a special someone? Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you finally finished that beautiful cross-stitch. I think I have one unfinished project that has been around over twenty years also. Pretty photos from your walk. Enjoy finishing that playmat.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish!
