Recent Finished and unfinished projects

Post by cougalacrafts »

This snowy owl was meant for my Aunty's 60th birthday, but sadly she passed away just prior so it has taken a while for me to feel up to finishing it off, hopefully it will be finished soon and I will frame with a plaque in memory of her.

This one is five in a row, and I finished this after my son was born last year, I had started it 2 years prior with my first pregnancy, but we lost the baby early in pregnancy so again I found it hard to finish. Now it is and it's ready to be framed!

:hug: Big projects always have a way of carrying so much of the emotion we deal with when stitching it.. Both pieces are lovely and I hope each will give you comfort when you when think of those moments.

That snowy owl is gorgeous and I always like things with cats. :-) It is definitely true that large projects like these have emotions built in. Good idea with the remembrance plaque.

Absolutely wonderful stitching on both of them. Love that Snowy Owl very much and what a wonderful memorial it will be of your aunt.
The kitties are cute and gorgeous and I am so glad you managed to finish it.
