I actually finished this piece around midnight last night but my computer was doing a large defrag so I let it be and went to bed. Washed ironed and removed the first layer of Trub hair from the design this morning before uploading pictures.As some of you know i have been very very frustrated so far this year, because I haven't had enough energy or time in the evenings after work to stitch. I am finding it incredibly frustrating. So last Thursday night (knowing I didn't have to go to work on Friday) I was determined to stitch.
I couldn't face a complicated project like The Castle and I was far too tired to do the one over one for Gail's Butterfly so a bad case of startitis (encouraged by Denise) set in and hunted through some patterns. I really really really wanted to start Bunny Battle by Arelate Studio but I didn't have a large enough piece of fabric for it ...
While I was hunting through my fabrics, Silkweaver's Blue Dynasty Lugana fell (jumped?) out of the cupboard onto the floor. Hmmm light blue light blue ... aha !!!
Thus Promenade was chosen and about 150 stitches of black was put in that night. The rest was done over watching three afternoons of cricket and one evening of tennis.
So now I have my second finish for the year :)
Kay can't fault me over not working on The Castle - after she is the one who RAKed me with the Promenade chart :) :) :) Tee hee hee !!!!
OH MY GOODNESS !!!!! I just went to the Silkweaver site to get the link for the Blue Dynasty fabric and I saw in the 2007 Showcase small division - that I have two entries !!!!! WOW !!!!! I submitted these ages ago but hadn't seen them so I thought they had been rejected ..... oh wow !!!!! Look at the last two entries on the Small Division.
