...and here's a 2012 UFO left untouched for years (3 yrs! :shock: ) - Nature Gives by Stoney Creek - and i'm determined to finish it this year. Hoping for lots of encouragement from you all :wub:

Beautiful update.

I'm especially fond of Stoney Creek charts as well as season-themed pieces, so yours is a delight to me! I will definitely cheer you on to finish this, and it looks like you are so close!

A nice first finish. I love all the butterflies that you've chosen to stitch. I especially enjoy the Stoney Creek design. I am another one who is quite fond of most things Stoney Creek publishes.

Lovely butterflies, as always. I did wonder if they were safe with that CAT suddenly in the list, though...? 8)
