It's Finally Finished!

It's been quite a while since my last blog post.  I hope that it's not this long until I post again.

I finally finished Maureen Appleton's Splendor I.  As I mentioned before, it's the second time around on the project. (Photo from Round 1)  If I had had the patience to be diligent about my stitch placement on the first try, I would not have had a "do-over".  But I always imagined this piece hanging on my wall.  Maureen's pattern was dated 1999, as you can see, I finished mine 13 years later.  I'm not how long after the pattern was published that I purchased it, but I've had it quite a while.  I guess I've finally gained the patience my mother always told me I needed.  I'm glad she never gave up on me, and I'm glad I never gave up on this!

Without further ado, I'd like to present Maureen Appleton's Splendor I.
