Its finished, as of last night!
I couldn't resist going ahead with the stitching on this, especially since Marido from the Blackbird SAL so kindly sent along the French translation already charted. Originally it read "Friends ~ flowers in the garden of life" but I much preferred the translation as it sounds so much prettier. I even broke down and gave this fabric an iron before I took a picture. I am really not impressed with the fabric, I think its R&R 30 ct Natural, but its so stiff and creases so easily. Its definitely not one of the nicer ones I have used nor is the colour.
I have a couple more pictures to post of what I did on the weekend, but Blogger is not cooperating at all today. I think I'm lucky to have gotten these 2 pictures up, but its not letting me place them where I want.
We have such a dull, dull day here today, and more snow flurries. Where is spring?
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteGreat finish! I like the verse in French. It does sound nicer. I hope your weather warms us soon. Have a good week.
A wonderful finish, Wendy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty!! Great job, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!!! I love French text, even though I can't read it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWe had hail and snow here, today. Absolutely bizarre.
congrats on the finish .. this piece is lovely with the French verse .. I've seen it finished without the verse too and it looks great :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful Wendy :) I am getting hooked on these designs!
ReplyDeleteIt's a dull day here too...rainy and gray...blah!
Oh, that is so pretty! You know how partial I am to English, but this time, I have to confess the French verse sounds much prettier. Great job, Wendy! I do hope those beautiful flowers inspire spring to pay you a long visit :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Wendy! I love the french verse. :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, brilliant finish Wendy the French writing is lovely...but aghhhh you are early...lol...makes me seem more late ;-) Your opinion of the fabric is the same as mine, although with me I just don't like the feel of it !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely finish, very nice. I think the French phrase reads nicer than the English as well.
