Presenting...

TaDa! I would like to officially show you my Village. Remember me? The slow one who dragged her feet and took more than two years to finish it? Omg, it was so worth every stitch, even though my thoughts were not always pleasant. lol. Some of you may have already seen this on Jill's site this weekend. What a wonderful job she did, as always. I am sorry I could not get a better picture, but I don't have a lens that needs a mortage and a muscle man to carry it around like Paulette does...

And here is my sampler..oh dear. Another apology. My house is a nightmare for reflection on glass. I tried everything to get a better picture.

Jill is amazing for picking out just the right thing.  I do have a question..does ANYONE know the name of this piece? Um..as you see by the date, I did it years ago, and I don't know why Sheepish Designs sticks out in my mind, but if you know, can you please tell me what it is?

Thank you for stopping by! I wanted to answer a couple of questions from my last post, but I will do that next time.

Village of Hawk Run Happy!

Truly this is a day of rejoicing for me. I have never wanted to finish a project so bad in my stitching life. I love, love, love fill-in work, but that last block was love overkill, truth be told. Had I known I wouldn't enjoy it anymore than I did, I would have done it first to get it out of the way. But maybe the dark, snowy, freezing days didn't help, what with the drab colors. I'm so happy to have it done, I don't even care that it is a crud-mud picture (Paulette will have vapors, no doubt). I thank you ALL who have encouraged me over the YEARS to get this done. Seeing how everyone's pieces turned out is what kept me going.

And to touch on a couple of questions: Michelle, that thing that looks like a Christmas quilt is really the start of a table runner made with "Sparkle All The Way" fabrics. So colorful and pretty!

Terri, I'm sorry you could not Email. I will definitely keep an eye on your sampler! Right now I feel like I need to do a little A-B-C freebie with a mattress needle. :) Ok..it's not THAT bad. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog..
