My jar is now half full. At this rate, I might have to empty it before the year is over. ;)
I finished a project this week! I love finishes, don't you?
This is "Monarchs" by Bucilla.
This isn't the best picture, but I'm too lazy to take another one.
I snapped it immediately after finishing.
As you can see, I hadn't even taken out the gridding yet.
It only took me a month to finish.
I am shocked! lol
I think that's the fastest I've ever completed a project.
The background is supposed to be back-stitched, but I decided not to do it because I like it the way it is.
Those butterflies gave me so much trouble!
The black back-stitched lines in the middle, to be specific.
I followed the pattern, but they just looked wonky.
I ripped and re-stitched them at least three times.
I'm still not entirely happy with them, but it is what it is.
I really love the background, though.
I am not currently working on anything, but I am getting two projects sorted, gridded, and ready to begin. Hopefully I'll be able to start tomorrow.
Until Next Time...
I really like how the butterflies turned out, I think the backstitching on their wings looks fine.
