Another UFO Finished

I am really going to have to do a better job with taking photos as this one is crummy! However, I wanted to get a photo put up to show another UFO that I finished. I designed this maybe 4 years ago and was about 1/2 done when I stopped. I picked it up again 2 weeks ago and finally finished it, yea me!

Finished! My neighborhood round robin...

I decided four years was too long to let this piece sit unfinished. I had to do the borders and a few additions to the inside of the piece so I started up a couple weeks ago and finished it this afternoon. I just love this piece and the friendships I made while stitching it. It's next up on my framing list and then I'll repost a photo of it when that is done.

A 10 year old UFO finished!

This is Summer Sampler from Butternut Road. I think I started it in 1998, yikes! Finally finished it last week. I did the version which was 18 count fabric with Watercolours threads. Turns out I didn't enjoy using either the fabric or the threads and that is why it sat unfinished for soooooo long! One change was taking out the backstitch alphabet (mine always look so messy) and inserting a verse instead.
