This is really going well! I also think that framing the finished picture at your destination might be an even better option, as glass might break in a suitcase plus it can get quite heavy.

Tink is looking really lovely. Fingers crossed that she's finished in time

She really is looking great Debby and what a good idea to take it with you to be framed there.
I did that with the 25th anniversary and 18th birthday ones except I sent them down earlier to my framer.

Well done and I am sure she will be fully stitched ready to go in your suitcase.

Graduation is May 7th - I'm heading out there a few days prior, so I really have to get busy.

Here is Tink as of last night. I'm getting a bit more stitching time in this week as I had taken most of the week off because friends were coming to visit but they cancelled the night before they were to arrive. (The weather reports of snow scared them - wimps.

)

I'm doubting I'll finish her in time - lots of semi-confetti and blended needles, but I'm giving it my best (and staying up way too late!!).

Absolutely stunning!! She looks awesome, Debby and you've really made wonderful progress!!

I'm in love with it! Absolutely beautiful and worth waiting for if you aren't finished by her graduation. This is one that is clearly better late than never.

Love it Debby and she is looking really great. Keep going and I am sure you will finish it in time. So sorry your friends got scared off by the snow reports - did it happen?

We only got about 4-5 inches....typical spring snow - it was gone the next day.

I did not meet my goal of having Tinkerbell done before I go to California for the graduation. I was going to take her with me and show Katrina her unfinished gift, but after talking to a friend (thanks!), I decided not to. Instead. I will take a copy of the cover of the kit, which really does not do the stitched piece justice. That way, Katrina will know what her gift is, but when she sees it, I think she'll be surprised by the vivid colors and beautiful design. I should be able to finish it within a few days of getting home and then I'll take it to be framed and off Tink will fly to California.

Anyway, here is where I stopped tonight - so close!

Good idea to take just the picture!

Your friend will be Blown Away by the Finished MASTERPIECE!!!

Although I've never been a fan of fairies and mystic this piece has really caught my interest.

Well done Debby!!
