From UFO to HD without a single stitch
Last evening I made a decision.
I turned an UFO into a HD without a single stitch.
When I first discovered Chatelaine Designs and the wonderful Martina Weber the Mermaid Treasure Box and Toys was just about to start - I enthusiastically signed up and waited with baited breath for each installment.
The online class has 12 installments and by the end you will have a box and some 'toys' to keep in it.
After a couple of months I had finished the box top and was ready to move onto the sides. Then Mystery Sampler 1 started and I got totally engrossed in that.
The box top was still on the frame and leaning against the hearth when last night inspiration struck - it's finished.
No sides, no toys just a lovely mermaid.
I really like the finished box but just not enough to start stitching the sides - especially when it's more of the same in blues - not my favourite colour. Yes I now if I don't like blues why sitch a sea theme.......................................hindsight is a wonderful thing.
So it's off to the framers at the end of the week - what a lovely feeling HDing is!!!
