I started this piece in 2007 or 2008. I am pretty sure that it was after the death of my father but while I was still living at home. I had recently discovered that there were LNSs that weren't Michael's, Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann and I saw "Do Not Meddle" while I was at this LNS over by State Fair Park in Milwaukee (I fear the shop has closed since then). I was in my fantasy phase, so I picked it up along with some nice sparkly opalescent fabric.

I blogged a little bit about that over at Stitching The Night Away.
This piece is sort of like Mel's Dragons over at Epic Stitching. Hers took about 7.5 years. Mine took between 7-8 years. Mine is nowhere near as complicated as hers though.
Since I've started this piece, I've...
- Eloped
- Moved from WI to TX
- Moved twice within TX
- Had two children
- Had both those children get diagnosed with Autism
- Been involved in a mass layoff
- Got my MA in teaching with teaching certificate

I have a piece like that which went through many many life changes! Congrats on finishing it!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!! :) Congrats on the big finish!
ReplyDelete(This makes me want to get out my old UFOs and get stitching)
Congratulations! Like Loretta I feel inspired too. I bet it feels good to have that one completed.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your oldest WIP now?!
Great Question. I believe it's a Koala piece which is a UFO and I'm not sure I'll actually ever finish. I think the oldest piece after that is Snow White Discovers the Castle, the Disney Kinkade piece. That piece still has years of work ahead of it since it's solidly stitched.
