While there wasn’t much time Friday or Saturday, when my company was finally gone on Sunday, I made myself comfortable on the porch and got stitching…

All that was left were the French knots, but there A LOT of them. I set it aside to make dinner, then worked on it a little later in the evening until bedtime, but it still wasn’t done.
Monday morning I worked in the garden until it got too hot, then I joined Burton in the a/c and he helped me get through the last of the knots!

We got it done fairly early in the afternoon so I decided to start block 20 (the last block!!!!)

It was a much simpler pattern, with far fewer French knots… and by dinner time, it was done!!!!


So that’s Block 19 and 20 complete! There’s no more blocks to make! Can you believe it??? I still have to turn them into a quilt, but I am sooooo pleased to have the embroidery all complete.
Because… it’s Augtober now and I’m DYING to start a new stitching project…

That’s a very big finish! Congrats! That sampler is to die for. I think I’m getting out my Halloween/Fall projects as soon as I finish the garden. I’d like to get them done this year. Lol…right?

Congratulations! Those blocks are all so nice (I particularly like #19) and they will make a gorgeous quilt.
Looks like a fun Halloween piece you’ve picked out to stitch.

Nothing like the motivation of a new project purchase to get the old one done!
