Kell's Korner 2011

[Mabel Figworthy]

Fancy getting the groom's name wrong when you're asking someone for a customised sampler You're doing great with the re-stitch, Kell, three cheers for you!

It wouldn't have been so bad if she'd got in touch even an hour before, as I could have just brought it home, unpacked it, unpicked his name, restitched it, repackaged it and sent it off to her the very same day - LOL!

Good job I'm enjoying stitching the design, so it woud be hellish! Looking forward to getting on with other projects once this is done though. I'm halfway through stitching a bookmark which will be my new header on the blog, and almost finished another one as well...

It looks great! Sorry to hear that you're having to redo it and deal with all of the frogs!

Hope the frog stays away and you can finish it as planned. Hopefully she spelled his name right on all the invitations.

Re: CM, I'm so happy to see Nicholas Brendon in it, I hope he gets more of a role. He was always my favourite character from Buffy.

It's a friend of the couple getting it done, not the bride - just as well, because if she couldn't spell her own fiance's name, it wouldn't bode well for the future - LOL!

Well, I've finished it and despite the major frogging sessions, I managed to shave 15 mins off my finish time, making it exactly 7 hours of work!

The first pic is where I was after 6 hours, then the second pic is the finish after 7 hours:

yay! Well done! (and yes, good thing we can assume the bride can spell her groom's name)

And since I finished the sampler this afternoon, I was able to finish a little Xmas decoration I'd already started:

Finished tonight - my leaf bookmark. The funny little out-of-focus smudge in the bottom right-hand corner is my little sigil.

Now I feel guilty for not catching up with your tread sooner!!! Was just debabting PMing you to warn you on the spelling as I read the rest of your thread!!!!

Could you get the friend to send it back and reuse it for someone else so the beautiful pattern is not wasted?

How do you back your bookmarks?
