Walking The Water’s Edge

Woo hoo! I got the starfish & beads done! What a beautiful piece to complete for my final finish of 2015. A Happy New Year indeed! Thanks again to Diane Herrmann for a great class.Note: Gifted to Fred R, our financial advisor, of many years upon his retirement to Florida. I can’t find a photo of it framed. We presented it to him and Margo at his retirement party (2016?).

Yes, I am so happy! I even had to take a 2-day rest because I overworked my right hand. I did hand stretches & stitched shorter periods. The bullions were tough with DMC floss. I don’t think I breathed as I worked them. Phew!

This is such a beautiful project and you did a wonderful job stitching it. Please post a picture when you’ve framed it.

I will definitely post it! It’ll be going back to the framer just as soon as my other pieces are ready. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

It is beautiful, Melita, and beautifully stitched! Of all the pieces I have stitched this one still calms we and brings a smile when I look at it. When you take it to be framed, among the mats you place behind the stitching, do try a sand color. Sue

I am in awe of this canvas, great stitching. Is this only available by taking a class?

Yes, but the ANG CyberPointers Chapter will offer it as an online class in June 2016 & usually has it open to non-ANG members at a higher price if you are not a member of ANG. http://www.cyberpointers.org/?p=2868 It was fun stitching.
