My Son - the photos

Here are the photos of my progress on 'My Son', as promised. I really don't have much more to do now, so I should have a finish to share with you before next weekend, I hope! Here is the last progress picture I posted back in September 2008. This piece should really not have taken as long as it has - if I got it out and actually stitched on it more frequently it would have been finished long ago! Never mind, I have enjoyed stitching on it and the Indigo Rose patterns are just wonderful to work with, they are very clear.





Thank you, once agin, to all those who leave comments for me; I love to read them all! Katrina - yes, the framer cut the mount for Little Witch freehand; I am very pleased with it. Brigitte - I plan to have Ghosties and Ghoulies framed just as soon as I can get around to stringing the piece onto a board.
Tomorrow we are on the early train to London to meet up with my daughter and son in law (who actually live in Manchester). The menfolk love single malt whisky and are going to the 'whisky live' exhibition and we girls plan to do a little light shopping and maybe nip into the British Museum for old times sake. We used to visit all the time when the children were little and we lived near London, but I don't think we have been for fifteen years or more now...... I am really looking forward to it! I hope that you all enjoy your weekend too!

Wow, it looks wonderful. With so many specialty stitches it certainly doesn't get boring to stitch on it.
Enjoy your trip to London!

Beautiful stitching!
I hope you had a great time in London - I prefer the V&A to the British Museum. I think it's their great textiles department that lures me there!

Wow Jackie, that is GORGEOUS!!! I love the close up pictures to see the beautiful stitches. I want to stitch this one so badly & always forget about it. So, so pretty, and the sentiment is just wonderful.

Love your Little Witch, too!

Have a great trip!
