First finish of 2011.... (MAJOR Happy Dance!)

Heaven Doth Ask

Brenda Keyes/The Sampler Company

Stitched over 1, 25 ct with DMC

I made my goal & finished "Heaven Doth Ask" by the end of February - woohoo!!!  Needless to say, I LOVE the sampler & I'm THRILLED that it's finished!!  It may not look like much, but the 80,000++ stitches in that bottom section (not including the border) was something.  I thought I'd never get the sky filled in!  Did I say I'm happy that it's done?  :-)  :-)  :-)  I picked it back up on Jan. 21st (I think?) and started with the words "Weak though we are" and finished it right around midnight on Feb. 27th.  Not too bad considering I can't stitch 10 hours a day! ;-)  The pic below was taken after I'd started stitched the first line of words - look at how much of the border was stitched then (not much!).  ;-) 

I hope to have another UFO finish to show you by the end of April - fingers crossed!  I do have some other things (sewing mostly) that MUST be done by then as well, so I imagine I won't have quite as much stitching time - we'll see.  The UFO I will work on next isn't over one - that should help a bit.  :-)

Thanks for stopping by & Happy Stitching!
