Well friends, when I looked through my old blog posts to find out when I started this beauty I found it has been been languishing more than 2 years in the WIP pile! Shock horror! Started on the 7th of May 2007 and finally completed it last night 2nd Oct 2009. It’s stitched on Stitches and Spice “Moonbeam” 32 ct Jobelan with AVAS silks (as charted). Loooooove it!
I’m so glad it is the weekend at last – even though we had a short week this week (WA had a public holiday on Monday) – it’s seemed a really long one – lots of long days at the office. I’m working today but I have dinner with my SIL and her husband to look forward to tonight and Stitching time with the Stitchy Girlfriends on Sunday (followed by a BBQ). Looking forward to seeing Alison who is visiting from New South Wales with the Stitchy girls – she’s such a fun lady – it will be great to catch up. Anyway, best get this published and get my tail to work. Thanks for visiting!

Utterly gorgeous Cathy! I love it. And the color is divine! Congrats on a stunning finish!!!
***faints*** It’s beautiful, Cathy! I must confess, I haven’t pulled mine out in a while. Shame on me! I’m so glad you finished this beauty!
Wow! It’s gorgeous! I love it! Congrats on the finish!
I’m also glad to see the end of the week. It was too busy with far too little fun. Love your finish – so glad you saved it from the WIP pile!
Congratulations Cathy – this is lovely!
A gorgeous finish Cathy.

Wow this is stunning. I have just got into Just Nan designs. Do you know there is going to be a JN SAL over at Jane’s Attic forum for the start of next year. Let me know if you want further details. x
Cathy – this is just stunning – well done!
Splendide Cathy ! This blue is nice.
How will you framing it ?
Fantastic finish Cathy! That is a really beautiful design!
I’m really sorry I missed the get together (stupid flu-cold-virus-thingy).
That’s a beautiful piece. Congratulations on a wonderful finish!
Fantastic! And, good for you, Cathy!! I’m so happy for you that you took it by the horns and finished it! :] Hugs, Deb

Doesn’t matter how long it takes, it’s just so exciting when we have a finish!!
Congrats on an awesome finish – this is just stunning
I’ve got this in my stash for stitching, but was just thinking of using plain ol’ DMC in monocolour … after seeing yours I’m almost tempted to go with the silks …
Just beautiful
