Dear friends and fellow bloggers,
Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.
The finishing pile is minus 1 stitched finish. Over the weekend I set about finishing my Cross Stitch Nation by Heartstring Samplery in to a drum .... my very first. It did take me 4 hours but I did enjoy it. It is quite a sizable piece and when you think it has to be stuffed, well that's where the time goes. I re-watched and followed Vonna Pfeiffer's Drum Tutorial on Youtube. I finished the top and bottom with Lady Dot Creates Velveteen in Heirloom and the Chenille is Mossy. I do keep stroking the top so it might end up a bit bald.

Until next time ....
Such a gorgeous drum! Finishing always takes way longer than I think it should! Ha!
