Well, it turns out I didn't share my progress as I stitched away on Garden of Love . At one point when I thought about it, I was nearing the end, so I thought I might as well just wait until I was finished. So I'm sharing the finish today.
Easter weekend my hubby and I were busy outside preparing things for the new fence, so on Monday I decided to take a break and spend the afternoon stitching. It was a beautiful sunny day, so I grabbed my stitching, got in the truck, and decided to drive up and sit by the water at the Bluewater Bridge (which crosses from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada into Port Huron, Michigan).
It was a busy spot that day; what with the kids having a day off of school for Easter Monday and gorgeous weather to boot. Even though the sun was shining, the wind was a bit on the cool side so I stayed put in the truck. No distractions... just the view of the river, blue skies and the sea gulls swooping around hoping that someone will share one of their french fries they got from the infamous chip truck "under the Bridge".
I snapped this picture just as the rain clouds were starting to roll in... one of the few fishermen I saw that day...
The timing was perfect... just as the raindrops started to fall, I was putting the final stitches in Garden of Love.
Here is the finished product...
This was a really fun stitch, and I know I will definitely be using those silk threads again in the future.
On to the next!!...
