Still making progress but it so annoying to see it setting there and just not have the proper time to get it going.

It is getting so big that the picture is getting hard to read so I will add the quote down here.

It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who knows the triumph of high achievement, and who if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory
nor defeat. Theadore Rooseveldt

My son is inspired by this and asked for it to be stitched for him.

What a wonderful quotation, and what a wonderful son you must have to appreciate this thought so much that he wants it stitched!

It's coming on beautifully Rose, can't wait to see it finished!

I agree with Mabel, it would go over the heads of most young men, you have a wonderful family Rose.

So I have all of the words stitched and I have started on the boarder.

That looks lovely, Rose -- is it going to be flowers all round?

Jilly · Post by **Jilly** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:06 pm

That's lovely

Is it a relief to work in another colour?

mags · Post by **mags** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:24 pm

Lovely

Oh it's lovely Rose and the border pattern looks like it will be so pretty too. I think this is a lovely piece of work.

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 9:30 pm

The boarder is just going in to the corner on the top right and the bottom left. It is gonig to be really nice when done I really am having lots of fun with it. Went throught 2 complete skeins of the green on the words. It is nice to be doing colors but they are confetti stitches so it is taking loads moe time.
