I have a finish!! YEAH!!!!! I know, it is a long time in coming, but better late then never right? Sunday morning I put the last stitches into Plum Street Samplers Fruit of the Spirit. I was desperate to finish on Saturday night, but I started baking red velvet cupcakes, and it was getting everywhere :) So, with 2 rows to go, I powered it out just in time for sampler club at my local LNS.
Isnt it fabulous?! A friend of mine asked last year if we could do a project together, and I of course am always up for a challenge. She finished hers in June, and I started mine in June-- (both of this year) I had some catching up to do for sure. The thing is-- and I know (no excuses) but I am busy, and busy doing 10 things-- at once-- like all of you reading this. So, I made it a priority to finish it before the end of the summer, and I have succeeded. Yea!!!!!!!!!
I have added a quarter in the pic (yes Dad, I have it saved for you!!) to show perspective on the size of this cutie patootie piece. Stitched on 45ct Lakeside with most of the called for colors, with some minor adjustments. Yes, all of the over one is full cross. The design size is 6"w x 4 1/8" tall. Sooo cute :)
I look forward to working on another piece-- well, I always look forward..... I am still pondering the rotation that I want to have going, but last night, Double Dee was the gal of choice. Tonight, is a new night, will it be Double Dee or someone else?!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, staying cool and with lots of stitching time!!!!!!!!

Sweet design. Congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteNice finish. I really like this piece and hope to stitch it some day. I just finished a piece on 45 count, but nothing as intense as that grassy area.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.

ReplyDeleteI'd say its an adorable finish, but the word adorable shouldn't be used to describe something stitched on 45 count! So.... what a fantabulaous finish! I don't have this chart in my stash, but might have to add it.
