Despite having a long weekend… I did not finish #17. This is for two reasons:

1. I spent about 80% of the weekend in the garden. I got up early each day and headed right out. I worked and worked and worked until noon when it got too hot and humid to be out there. Then I came in to the A/C and sewed in the afternoons. Then I made dinner, and headed back out to the garden until dark. There just wasn’t much time for stitching before bedtime.
2. There are A LOT of French knots on this one! And boy do they take time!

So… making progress. Just slowly.
