Around The World WIP

Post by wanderingmedic »

I am a newbie to the forum and wanted to share my halfway done SAL. I'm just getting back into stitching after a couple of years doing not that much, and this was the project that I was doing when I hit my stitching slump -- it was intended for my grandfather, who died when I was doing it, which may go some way to explaining the slump! However! I've picked it up again and am having fun with it, and I plan to give it to my grandmother as a kind of memorial gift.

This is what it should look like when it's done:

And this is what it looks like as of today:

That is a great design. I can imagine that your grandfather's passing away would make this a really emotional piece to finish. What a great gift to give your grandmother. I look forward to watching your progress!
