I completed the cross stitches yesterday and the backstitching today.  And oh boy, was there a LOT of backstitching on the piece!  Compared to the Spring Dragon, which didn&#8217;t have much, this one was a huge change.  It took me several hours to do all of it.  But hey, it&#8217;s done, and just a little bit behind schedule.  It looks like all of us were running a bit late this round, so I don&#8217;t feel so bad.  It&#8217;s packed up and ready to go into the mail on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pretty one.

I made up another one of those lovely little hardanger suncatchers in shades of blue and turquoise, just for my buddy <a href=\"http:\/\/shakatak66.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Anne<\/a>.  I wanted her to have a little something that she could hang up, no matter where she&#8217;s staying, so that she would have a little piece of &#8220;home&#8221; with her.  I thought it would be nice and portable for her housesitting situation.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9270&#038;g2_serialNumber=1\"\/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started another project now, but it&#8217;s a secret.  It has multiple parts, but I&#8217;m going to count each one as a finish (and rightfully so, I think).  I&#8217;m more than halfway through one of them already, having started it Thursday night to catch a break from dragon stitching.  \ud83d\ude42  It will probably take me another week or more to complete the stitching on all four of the pieces and then do the finishing.  I have a feeling that this is going to take me up through when we leave for Canada.  In the meantime, I signed up for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriasampler.com\/cyberclasses\/Sclass_fis.asp\" target=\"_blank\">cyberclass<\/a> through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.victoriasampler.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Victoria Sampler<\/a> that started on the 5th.  I haven&#8217;t even taken the fabric out of the kit and ironed it yet, so I need to get moving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s official, I finished Summer Dragon on Christine&#8216;s RR fabric.
