As promised, here's the BAP update for November. It's really starting to look like something now! It's so hard for me to believe I've got one more "assignment" and this one will be complete. I'm going to miss it.
November's "assignment"
This part is November's "assignment." I did work ahead on the bottom border since I was on a roll with it. It will save me time next month as my goal is to have this finished in time to show it off at the guild's Christmas party.
Lower right corner
I decided to stop just short of the corner since I really couldn't go any farther anyway. I noticed on the big picture that all the corners are turned slightly differently so I have to wait until next month to see how this one goes. It will be a snap to finish though.
Butterfly row
I also finally got to see the entire butterfly row finished! As I've said, these butterflies and the dog were the two designs that drew me to this sampler. They are so pretty! I wish you could see them in person.
Completed bird
For all you bird lovers out there, here's a close up picture of the completed bird and part of that fantastic cabbage rose. I didn't realize how much depth was in that rose until I'd finished stitching it and stood back from it. I just love cabbage roses!
I'm not one to start things and just throw them to the side after a while. No commitment issues here! I just have to keep going on them. I know I sound like a broken record but I really love this sampler and have from the very first stitch! I really am going to miss it when it is finished.
However, have no fear, I already have another one percolating in the wings. I just have to choose which fabric I want to use and pull the threads. So stay tuned dear readers because the fun is going to continue in 2013!
Well folks that's all I have for today! I need to get crackin' on my last two ornaments and start seriously thinking about the upcoming holidays. I hope your day is splendid! Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time,
The Inspired Stitcher
