December, January, February ..... all done!!!

Wow .... what a great day I have had!!!  Stitching away happily ..... and this little baby didn't let me down!!    This has been a great workout for my new friend "Bliss"!!


And so now Miss Chooky ....... what have we here????    December, January and February (yes .... that's February's bottom binding hanging over the line there too!!)   Whew!!!!   Now I can get onto some other projects I have to do in the next couple of weeks and not worry about missing February deadline!!    Thanks Chooky for cracking the whip ..... I have had a fantastic day!!   Amazing what you can do with a day away from the office and no phones ringing!!



And by the way ... is it just me or is everyone having trouble taking photos of such a loooooooong project????   I took it over to the next door clothesline .... the wind was blowing .... the puppy was wanting to help .... and this is trying to get it to stay still for just a moment!!    At least the rain had stopped!!    Happy stitching everyone ....... Fiona H xx

Nice!

Yes, it is pretty hard to photograph, but I think you did an excellent job. I love the last photo. It looks almost like a stained glass window! Lovely effect.

Kris said...

Oh. And lovely name for your Bernina too. Bliss! The perfect name. *sigh*

Did you do outline stitching on your strips? It looks like it but maybe that is just the light shinning through....
Yes, I had to turn my camera sideways to get it all in the picture...
I have a Bernina, too.
