Indigo Rose Project Complete!

I actually finished the Indigo Rose piece about a week ago. I'm not overwhelmed with my finishing job so I've been procrastinating about putting this up. Here are some pictures from the front, back, and the side. I put a picture of the piece opened on the last post although that was not my piece specifically. This was a frustrating piece to stitch due to Mr. Frog visiting me the entire time I was working it. I'm not sure why but my borders just never seemed to line up. I'm rather embarrassed to admit that as they are not that difficult. My only guess is that there was several different lengths on the vines and instead of counting each one on the pattern, I relied on the old memory. Of course, I can see that the old memory is now old and not as reliable as it had once been. My piece does not stand up as nicely as the class model did.

We've been starting to see a bit of sun, so I've had a desire to clean my nest. The sun as well as the date for the church yard sale has inspired me to clean out closets etc. So, as a result I haven't gotten as much stitching done as I would like. I've put a night in on the Shepherd's Bush piece, but found that it doesn't excite me that much since it is no longer February. I'm planning on getting my fabric ironed and marked to start a LK SAL with my DSIL. I also want to start the Red Thread piece. Maybe since this coming week is Spring break, I can make some progress. I sure wish we were going somewhere warm, but we're not. So, I can make a good thing out of it by getting some larger pieces started.

Cheers
