Thank you guys! I've ironed them and they are Peter to a ribbon on my bookshelf so I get a few days of looking at it before the frame comes!! Who knows, I may do this one again sometime.....

(god I'm having real issues posting this, third time lucky...)

Framed and given!! She was delighted and overwhelmed, and very surprised I managed to keep it secret from her!!

The frame is not quite as gold as it looks here, a bit more subtle. It's framed with no glass and wadding, it's taped at the back so it can be washed if necessary!

Thank you all so much for your cheer leading and encouragement. I'll show you my new project soon!!

The pic comes through fine. I was just getting ready to hit submit when your next post showed up. It took it a while to show up, but then it did in all its beauty.

Absolutely beautiful. I've seen this pattern before, but had too many other projects that needed finishing so I skipped over it. Seeing you finish it makes me want to go back and buy the pattern, no matter how many projects I already have lol. It's gorgeous, and I LOVE that frame.
