UPDATE: Twilight Balloon Flight

Baseball season has started again.  Yeah!  I was trying to figure out which project I was going to stitch while watching opening day and then I remembered that I started stitching this project while watching baseball games so why not pull it out and get started on that last row.  The old grid lines had turned a slightly green color and I hope that doesn't mean trouble when I wash this at the end.  We'll have to see when I get to that point.  So far this is one week's worth of stitching while watching baseball and hockey games.  I would love to finish this project this year and I really think that I can.  The question will be if I have the money to frame it before giving it to my mom.

Twilight Balloon Flight - update

So here's my latest update on this project.  I'm doing this for my mom and yes, she has seen it.  I'm doing it on 18ct Aida 2x1 full.  I got the pattern from patternsonline.com.  I've got one more row of pages to do.  That's 3 full pages and one skinny column of stitches down a 4th page.  Then I've got to add all the strings for the little balloons.  I don't think I'll have it done by her birthday but maybe for next year (I've already got something planned for mother's day).  It's in desperate need of a wash so I might do that before I start the last pages.  I actually finished the last page at the beginning of June but I'm just now getting around to taking a picture.  I think it's only been 4 years so far . . . .

Twilight Balloon Flight update

This is a project I've been working on for my mother for the last couple of years. She's seen it and can't wait until I'm finished. Hopefully she'll live that long at the rate I'm going. I'm doing it 2x1 on 18ct Aida full stitches. You can see how much more I have to do before I'm done.
