I spent several hours between Saturday and earlier today, working on the hardanger section of Heirloom Memories Sampler. I finished up today, so I thought it was a good time to take an update photo before I rolled up the hardanger section and moved back up to the top. It turns out that I’m not as close to finishing as I had thought. I originally figured that all that was left was the hardanger, personalization, silk ribbon work and bullion roses. Yeah, not so much. When I scrolled back to the top, I realized that I didn’t do any of the stitching at the top that goes between the ribbon work and bullion roses. Oops.<\/p>\n
Oh well, no matter. I still made good progress this weekend, after not having touched this piece in over 5 years. I’ll take it. It’s all I can do to resist the serious temptation to start or work on something small for a quick, gratifying finish, but I really do want to get this one done by the end of summer. I have realized, though, that I actually have to start and finish Brush ’em and get it framed by November, so I may actually have to kit that one up and get started on it soon. I want HMS to be done and framed by Christmas, so it can’t be too far behind. It will be interesting to balance the two against each other, but hopefully it will help to keep me motivated.<\/p>\n
Blah, blah, blah. I ramble too much. Here is the picture:
