Last night around 10PM (and the internet was down) I put the FINAL stitches in on The Accolade!!!!! If you look back to last week's post you'll see I kept my promise and did nothing but stitch Good Friday-Easter Monday! My hands were actually sore by the end of Monday night. It was hard to go to work on Tuesday morning knowing that I was a matter of hours away from finishing this long-term project!!!
The Accolade
by Timeless Designs
Stitched on: 25ct Lugana over one
Stitched with: DMC, Anchor and Kreinik #4 braid
Doesn't it just look awesome?
What's next I don't know... I need to recover from my marathon sprint to the "finish line". Also that makes an excellent additional blog post in a day or two!
