It looks really great!!!!!!

And for it to bring back such great memories is such a bonus.

Good progress and its lovely

Fabulous progress and what a lovely thought, to do it for your friend. I bet she'd be so happy to recieve one as well.

That is so pretty. And so neat. Well done. Bet your friend would love something handmade with memories sewn it.

Really pretty

So beautiful! It would be lovely to receive something with cherished memories.

This is so pretty and growing very fast, well done.

You know, it just occurred to me earlier this afternoon that I missed the weekly stitching group that meets at my local needlework shop.. That's what I get for confusing days of the week; I kept thinking yesterday was Friday and I keep thinking today that it is Saturday. Guess it'll be another two weeks 'til I get the thread I'm missing (since I won't be going this weekend to stitchy club as we've a family gathering to attend next weekend).

Going to start a new SAL in the meantime for some other projects I'm working on..

Oops..... I have confused days too.

Look forward to your new SAL's

I do that all the time too!

The weeks seem to fly by, I'm always days behind.

Really lovely

Lovely work

Such a beautiful project, made even more special by the memories!

freelady, what a lovely way of putting it, "something handmade with memories sewn in", that's just what stitchers do when they make something especially for a person!

Great progress it looks great

So pretty

Guess what I did yesterday?? I pulled out this piece again, after FINALLY getting the colors I ran out of. Mom tried to before, but it's an old kit and the number conversions aren't really perfect anymore...so I was able to see for myself which threads would and would not work at the Needlecraft store and get the correct colors. Not too much progress; but I don't remember the last pic I shared with everyone either.



It's also a rather dark picture, but I took late last night, so you'll have to forgive me for that. Hopefully I can take a better one later this afternoon. I'm so pleased with how this has turned out; all I've left to finish is the backstitching and french knots! (I'm doing beads in place of the knots though--can't stand doing them!)

Oooh! what a lovely design. Not long to go now til it's finished. Well done.
