I can imagine how it feels when you have finished the stitching on such a large and beautiful project. You have done a really great job. Happy beading and backstitching on it! Looking forward to seeing it off the frame. But could you please hint what your next project will be?

Congratulations on finishing the stitching! I'm sure you will soon fly through the beads and back stitch. It is such a great feeling to finish a project you have been working on for a long time. I can't wait to see the photos

Fantastic! What a "tour de force"!
I am sure that you will enjoy the back stitching and beading, on such a beautiful Angel. I can't wait to see the pictures

Can't wait to see the photo and know it is going to be a masterpiece and well worth the time and effort it has taken! Congratulations on finishing the stitching . This is the type of design that I always enjoyed the back stitching because it outlines and emphasizes the detail and beauty of the work.

Congrats!! I am so looking forward to seeing the next photos of this wonderful stitching!!

Congratulations!!!!

Well Done, Sally!!

Wow can't wait to see the finish its amazing

Just to tease you a bit -- She is FINISHED - as of late Sunday afternoon as the light was fading.. I need to play around with my photo library on here and see if I can find a way to post direct onto the forum. I don't hold out much hope as my photos have long been disallowed when trying to post into my library page on here.
Once I get my new computer I will load in HP Photo Smart but my resident computer guru (he is a computer engineer) says this old machine is already close on full up and needs replacing.

Woohoo ! Looking forward to seeing the pictures - congratulations on a major finish

CONGRATULATIONS!

She is drying out at present and oh how lovely it is to see the beautiful fabric she is stitched on too. One of PTP's hand dyes. Not long now before you see her in all her glory - I hope

"Yes I am" Helene and it's fun. Hopefully once I get home from the grocery shopping this morning I will be able to get her ironed and photographed. I will try my best to do that. So pictures sometime today hopefully.

Hereis a try with PB

So far so good and the pictures are up there at the moment. they stay there.

OK the top one is unwashed unironed. the other 2 are after a wash and iron. It will now be rolled up until I can find a backing fabric to go with it and then it is off to Corinth TX. to a special friend and his wife.

I would also take this opportunity to thank you all so very much for your encouragement and uplifting replies during the far too long a time it has taken me to finish this.
To say that I am a bit lost is oh so true. Since early January it has been the sole focus of my attention as far as stitching is concerned and now I am not sure where to go next.
I did start a small cover kit from WOCS at my embroidery group earlier this week and I know Christmas is looming and along with it my great grand daughter's 2nd Christmas and my promise to have a stocking stitched and ready for it but so far the stitching bug has fled screaming for a rest. I have started to clear up various parts of the stash cupboard but that is rather disheartening as no sooner than I start on a pile of stuff I discover heaps more things (eg a childs quilt or the Christmas wall hanging X2) ) needing finishing.

I will most likely start a new thread to take me through the remainder of this year and next year too, we will see.

Thank you all, you are an amazing bunch of friends to have at ones side. Thank You ALl

fantastic. Lovely stitching
