When I was young, my mother gave me a starter stitchery kit. Over 20 years later, I finally finished mine. Guess she was right not to buy me another one until I finished the first.
As you can see, the copyright is for 1977. While I got it a few years after this date, it's clearly still been waiting awhile to be finished.
Thankfully, I still like the design. And given how long it's been in a bag, it definitely deserves to be on display. While tradition may dictate hiding the edges and copyright, I think the unfinished look adds to its charm.
Finishing this one actually made me desire to start another one, but given my track record on how long it takes to complete them, I think I'll stick to other forms of creativity for now.
Hahaha. Good job on finally finishing it. I love the commentary. I'm pretty sure I have embroidery things I never finished either. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to finish it, and of course it can be a tribute to your Dad's love of sailboats ( that someone else sails and pays for :) I will buy you another but only when you want it:) Thanks for sharing , agree with Leta - love the commentary - adds so much:)
