Amazing!--I actually finished two projects in a week's time. But the most recent finish is a doozie and a long time in the making!
Yesterday I put in the final stitches on the Nellie's Imari canvas designed by Judy Harper. The finish came ten days shy of three years since I began the project. It usually doesn't take me that long to stitch a canvas, but other projects would take precedence and I'd put Nellie aside.
It's stitched entirely in Vineyard Silk Classic and Kreinik #12 tapestry braid #002V, and is destined to take pride of place on our living room sofa. I promise to show a photo when it's made into a pillow!

Beautiful! It is a perfect expression of Judy, too. Congratulations on acquiring a wonderful pillow full of dreams and memories.
Congratulations! I think that Judy would have been very please to see it completed so beautifully.
I've always envied you working on this piece! It's so beautiful. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to have it completed at last!
Congratulations! It looks beautiful.
Great finish! So many people seeing a finished needlepoint see only the stitches. I think most needlepointers see the memories and people connected with the design.
It's stunning, and will make a gorgeous pillow. Beautifully done!
Love this piece of Judy's that you've done. It was her website that led me to you initially so it is wonderful to see this.
Do you know if any of Judy's pieces are still available for sale?
Jane, I don't know what her family decided to do with patterns existing when she became ill. I have a few that she gave me, but they're obviously not for sale.
Congratulation! Great finish, beautiful piece. July would have been proud!
