More Black Belt Stitching Wizard Stuff

An Olympic Effort!

Its taken me many hours, lots of dedication and stubbornness to do this before February ended :

HAPPY DANCE!!!!

Tour Des Marques
c2004 The Silver Lining
Stitched on : 28 ct Bluebell Joblean (Wichelt)
Stitched with : DMC & Anchor floss



I started this back in January of 2007 and it spent many years ignored and unloved. Determined to start emptying out my stitching basket, I pulled it out late 2009 and finished it tonight! Its stitched one over one the stitch count is 140x289.



I'm not sure what's next on the stitching agendas. Since I'm leaving for my trip to the DR in a week probably an ornament, some smalls, nothing too involved.

On Saturday I'll get you caught up on my photo a day project (I'm sad to say I've missed one day!)

  51. Hurray Dani!!!

    Congratulations on this momentous
    finish. Tour Des Marques is a
    spectacular design and you've done
    a phenomenal job of stitching it.
    Such a lot of work and so much
    detail. It must feel fantastic to
    have finished it at last. This one
    needs to be framed, hung and displayed as soon as possible.

    Cheers!
