To be framed
I am just so pleased with how she turned out! I decided to "sign" this one with my initials stitched in the blue color. There's only a small bit of it in the people's clothes. I'd like to put the date on there somewhere but haven't decided where yet.
As I mentioned before, this one has been in the stash since my Aida days. It's very special to me. I always said when I could stitch on linen I'd get this one out and stitch it. Once she's framed I'll have my start on my Adam and Eve wall!
I've had several people ask about the chart. Since she is so special to me I intend to put the chart along with my stitching notes in a pocket on the back of the frame. My friend, Ellen, gave me that idea. So unfortunately, I won't be selling or giving this chart away. I do hope you understand. As Edgar says, there's always the bay of evil aka eBay. I've found a lot of out of print things there. You just have to be patient and wait for it.
Thanks for stopping by to share my joy today. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I'm really looking forward to mine. I'll have tales to tell first of the week. Until then I'm going to keep you in suspense. Enjoy the weekend!
More next time,
The Inspired Stitcher

Congrats on your super finish!!
Congrats on a beautiful finish. Love your initials in blue.
Congrats on a beautiful finish! I got such a laugh out of "the bay of evil" comment! Love that one! I practically live on that "bay of evil" busily hoarding more STASH! I need to learn to sell on there soon, or I won't be able to move around here much longer. ( Just kidding -- well, sorta!)
Enjoy the weekend!
Lisa, I have that pattern also. Now I will have to do it too. Fun, fun, fun. Nancy
It looks so beautiful. Congrats on finishing her. I love your ideas of adding the pocket to the back and stitching a different color for your initials in the alphabet. I just pulled a chart and I'm going to do just that in the alphabet pert. It happens to be one of Ellen's charts too:) How prefect. It's "Flowers for my Friends" one she designed for Italy's 2012 earthquake victims.
love Annette

I have a lot of bookmarked websites part of Blogspot that I check daily for updates, but it is so annoying to click through a list. If I make an account is there some sort of feature where I can see new posts on the websites? (Sort of like Subscriptions on Xanga)?.
