But when it saw the light of day again after so many years stuck away, it sang a pretty song to me and that song was "I'm so beautiful, you know you want to finish me"...so thanks to Patti, for inquiring about the book, Greetings is now finished!
It's supposed to have some snowflakes, which are made from Queen stitches, scattered about, but I'd rather dance with the devil than do queen stitches, so yeah, no snowflakes!
The fabric is actually much darker than it's showing here, I just can't get a good picture with this camera....anyway, it's 32 ct. Autumn Gold from Lakeside and stitched with GAST and WDW threads.
This is totally random, but after hearing it the other day, I haven't been able to get it out of my head....
From back in early 1986, when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter....
Ah hey ma ma ma! Take it easy on yourself....

Gorgeous finish Andrea!! It was worth completing this project. I am savouring the last few hours of being 40. Soon I am forty something lol.

Andrea, what a wonderful finish - this is such a great project! I'm not sure I know what a queen stitch is and from your reaction, I will stay far away from them :-)
What a beautiful finish! You must feel so good getting this done. I have never even seen this pattern. It's wonderful, and I think it looks perfect without snowflakes.
Beautiful finish! Isn't it funny how those old UFOs can grab you again?
Beautiful finish! I love the colors in this piece. These BBD christmas charts are fantastic...so happy you re-discovered it.
Gorgeous finish, Andrea! I love the colors and it's perfect without those %$@*&@ queen stitches!
My family will want to thank you as I walk around singing eh ma ma maaaa for the next few days!
What a beautiful finish! Such lovely colours. Queen stitches are sooooo tricky! I think it looks great just the was it is.
Add me to the list of people who can't get that song out of their heads now!
Congratulations on a simply gorgeous finish.
OMG, I LOVE that song so much! Wasn't it FABU? And your finish is beautiful, even with no snowflakes. LOL @ dance with the devil. Too funny. But oh so true!
It looks wonderful. I love it. And I love your expression of rather dancing with the devil cracks me up. I'm the same way!! You've got a beautiful finish even without those Queen Stitches.
It is so very pretty; I'm glad you finished it!
Oh thats just lovely. I love the contrast of the red with the muted colors. Congrats on the finish!
Oh that is just lovely! I have that book too but I never remembered that piece. Beautiful! I love Autumn Gold!
That Greetings piece is gorgeous!
Oh I love this piece and have it on the short list for next to start. I'm so glad you dug this out and finished it, now it's not in that UFO pile to haunt you.
BTW How are the pups?
Congrats on your finish! It's amazing how a little kick can get us to give those UFOs a chance :)
Thank you for the 80s flashback! I'm a self-proclaimed "child of the 80s". Rick Springfield re-did that song a few years back, too :)
Congrats on a SUPER finish! Love the colors on this one. Just in time for the Holidays too :)
It's sooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!
I love this finish!!
And the song is fun, too. I'd never heard it before. (I'm afraid I live in a cave when it comes to music. LOL)
Fabulous finish, Andrea!! I love those BBDs... I need to start stitching more of them instead of just doing the hoarding of the charts like I've been doing of late. LOVE your finish!
Beautiful work and wonderfully pictures!
