Unfinished stitches..

Post by moogypop »

My grandmother passed away about a year ago and left this half finished piece. I've been hesitant to start to complete it as it feels like a little piece of her but I somehow found the courage and I've made good progress on it! Taking my time on it as I want it to be perfect but I can't wait to have it finished and framed! Will be my proudest finish!

It is so beautiful and I can easily see why you would want to finish it!!! I'm sure that you feel her spirit with you when stitching it and that in itself must be very comforting :)

It's going to be beautiful, and I think it's wonderful that you're finishing it. I bet she's there with you, every stitch, every thought.

Oh this is absolutely gorgeous. How wonderful to be handling and stitching something your grandmother started. I am sure she is encouraging you to finish it for her. Its beautiful.

If something happened to me and I left something beautiful like that unfinished, I would be thrilled if I knew one of my loved ones finished it in my place. What a special kind of tribute. ^_^

This is going to be such a beautiful memento when it's finished. I think it is very touching that she finished half, as it seems like you've 'shared' the project. :D

Thanks guys! I actually tweeted about a post I put up on my blog about it and DMC read it and told me they want to see it finished! Put a little smile on my face! I definitely know my grans with me when I'm stitching this :)
