Here's what Julie says about her finish:
"Lots of blends in it (and for a bit, his face was very orange (Claudette said it looked like he had a bad spray on tan, giggle) but it looks better now) and frogged so much I almost put it away repeatedly. It was cursed the whole time I was doing his face. Put in ten stitches frog out five. Put in twenty stitches, frog out ten. Awful!!! It was for my mom though, so I HAD to finish it."
Gorgeous, Julie! I think we've all had those kind of froggy projects! Can anyone else relate?
It's gorgeous! Yes I can totally relate! I stitched on a sampler for three whole days and got a ton of progress done, just to realize that I had been using the wrong color thread the entire time! :P

Oh no, McKenna! Yes, I totally relate to Julie's problem, too. I often find myself "amending" patterns. I admire anyone with the patience to frog that much and start over!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work by Julie!
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful! I think your mom will be very pleased with it. as to frogging: sometimes I am so afraid I'll have to frog, I keep counting over and over (and don't get any stitches done:-))
ReplyDeleteJesus looks great! I'm so glad you never gave up, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies. I actually did him on another fabby, and it was so badly off center, that I had to restart it. I can totally relate, McKenna. I've done similar things. Or I'll get off by one stitch, and something is totally in the wrong place. Ah, the hazards of being a cross country stitcher!
