Yeay!!! Finally finished Promises Kept! Here's a pic - washed but still damp!

Image

I really didn't get on with the cording - maybe because I used replacement gold thread as I lost the original stuff. Instead of using cording on the border I just bodged it by stitching around the blue in the gold thread. I did use cording for the railing through!

Ok - going to get on with my Vic House now! Hope to update that one tomorrow!

The gold thread looks fine to me! I can see why you'd want it on the railing, but no real need for it on the border - besides - who's going to know that it's 'supposed' to be there? :wink: Good work! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

:applesauce: Looks very good. I would have done the same as you with the gold thread. Easier, I'm sure and it looks very pretty. This is one to be very proud of.

Just love the way you have finished the border, it looks spot on. Congratulations on a wonderful project now finished.

Looking forward to seeing your SAL on the Victorian Charm - and yes I bit the bullet and bought it from World of Cross Stitching on Friday and its already on its way. Fantastic service.

Congratulations! I love Noah's Ark projects and wish you luck with your stylish but snuggly next project too!
If it's any reassurance, my friend's mother has been continuing to design and stitch her a Noah's Ark all her adult life (it's a 21st birthday present and we are now, ahem, late 30s). My friend keeps travelling the world and suggesting new unusual animals to add...
