Fencing Finished!...

Completed exactly as I planned! I'm very happy with the way it looks now. All I have left to do are bird legs and feet, as well as a grub/moth/bug for the male's beak. I'll be finishing that today, and then I'll choose the fabric for the wall hanging in earnest. 

I'm feeling pretty accomplished, even though I still have a little bit to go. I can definitely see the end of this project now. I started it last September, and although I took a few breaks during that time (the holidays and my surgery), I estimate I still have about nine months of work on this piece...so far. I can't begin to imagine how many stitches! It's my plan to complete it before the end of this month. 

I'll show you the completed embroidery tomorrow, and I can hardly wait!

    Wow! You've really been a stitching storm these past few days - I can't believe how much you accomplished. It's absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to see the fabric selection and next phase of work!

      Hi Lois:
      I sure was! I stitched for about twelve hours between the last two days alone. Mission Accomplished!! Fabric choosing is next!

    I know you shouldn't be doing a happy dance right now, so I'm doing it for you. It looks absolutely amazing and you should be very proud of it. Now I wonder what bird you will do next?

      Hi MA:
      I really appreciate that you did a happy dance for me! Thanks so much, dear. I was chatting with my sister, Di today about just that subject. I settled on the last one in the four seasons series...American goldfinch. They're back for the fall and winter, so those are going to be the stars of the Fall wall hanging. (I won't be starting that one until after the new year while Handsome is in Florida making music.) You're the first to know!
