Yes you will :D It was great fun having an entry last year. I recommend it - for $5, it is fun to enter a piece.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement and lovely comments. I will certainly post a photo once framed.

:applesauce: Well done on finishing it! :applesauce:

Really interested to see how you've chosen to frame it. Mine's a little way of being pulled out again (still have 2 more pages to get through on Trains first).

I believe I saw your Witching Hour last year. I had just begun stitching and it was really inspiring to me to see what can be accomplished, it was really amazing! Who does your framing? They did a great job, too. :applesauce:

Yes, I did have Witching Hour displayed last year. Thanks for your comment - I am really proud of that piece (I'm actually surprised by that - I had never really thought of my stitching that way).

Framing is done by Wendy at The Framing Corner (shopping center across from Trabuco Hills High School). She is super nice and spends the time to helps with picking out mats and frames - if you want her to. She even ensures all the wrinkles I miss are removed and does a beautiful job stretching.

Woohoo - here it is framed - and early to boot! I was 'meh' about this design as I neared the end and saw the finished piece....but I have to say - after seeing it framed, my interest has been rekindled and we have already narrowed down two possible places to hang it - in a main living area. (when I first started, I was thinking in the guest bathroom - just to confuse people - yes, we are sick that way :lol: )

Pardon the flash and my partial reflection.

It really needs a mechanism in it so it can be used for a clock 8} It's simply brilliant. And your choice of frame and matte set it off so well.

That's absolutely beautiful. I could hardly tell it was stitching though as your stitches are so neat and perfect.
