First Finish of 2013

Ta-da!   Last night I finished O Tannebaum by Pat Thode of Heart Strings.   This post has been interesting to say the least.   I took photos tonight and uploaded to my new laptop but alas, I cannot find them.   Seems the memory card in my camera - which I always click erase after upload - was not really empty.   I uploaded 1,469 photos - most of which duplicate photos I have on the Mac already.....or at least I think, unless this computer is smarter than the average bear and didn't duplicate photos already here since I don't believe my total photos numbers changed.    Enough....can't work on a computer all day and expect me to make sense of this at this time of night....

so I log off Mac
sign on though my old and trusty HP and voila! here is O Tannebaum.






I mentioned in an earlier post about this being a SAL.   Someone commented and asked me about it and forgive me....but did you know when you delete a comment accidentally, it is gone forever? I did that with a half a dozen comments when I was hastily going trashing the spam ones.   So sorry !-(  At any rate,   it was just four of us in our stitching circle that were working on it not some big organized Internet thing.   Three of us started January 1st with Diane starting shortly after our retreat last October.   Three of us are done but Carol is closing in fast.   I will get to see Carol and Pat's finished at EGA next week.  It was a really enjoyable project to stitch and now I must chronicle some finishing directions for the others to follow.  It is really funny but the packaging and photo was so poor I am surprised we even gave it a second look in the store but I am ever so glad we did!
