Hoooraaahhh! Good for you on biting the bullet and getting it finished, now you won't have to look at any more beads for a while.......unless you want to help me on my stargazer I've only got 7 more packs of beads to go!!

Seriously though they do look absolutely stunning, you should be proud of yourself!

Congratulations Rose. That is a very impressive finish,even more so considering you weren't keen on it.

Absolutely beautiful Rose, congratulations on finishing this wonderful piece

Well I did it I could not stand to give the girls away befor they had their wash and steam iron. So I did now I am just waiting to hear from my friend as to when sh will be home so I can take it over.

You can kinda see the sparkle in the fabric and the hand-dye but not near as good as in real life.

Simply beautiful

How did you manage the steam ironing with all the beads -- padding it with lots of towelling?

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Wed Jun 15, 2011 4:34 pm

I went all around the outside of the designa nd got all of that to my liking then I put a folded up table cloth on the ironing board and turned the design face down. I then just ironed over the back as if there was no beads and it came out wonderful. I had the steam setting on high and it really took out all of the wrinkles very quickly.

Looks perfect Rose! I'm sure you can't wait to get it out of the house. I applaud your professionalism in finishing it completely.

It's utterly gorgeous Rose, well worth the trials and tribulations in my book
