Their Song Finished

This was one of those projects that the closer one got to the end, the more it felt like there was a whole other project to do. Yesterday, I wasn't feeling well enough to stitch a whole lot, so today, I just sat down and hammered this one out until I was finished. I'm am so, so happy that I got the chance to stitch this one up. I am happy that I got to be on the list to stitch this one as I do not think I would ever stitch this one again. Still, in all, I do love these birds! :)

Well, at any rate. Here are my efforts:

Slate, and Tulip. Gloriana Threads 12 strand French silk floss in #016 Holiday Green. 

Stitcher's Notes: Chart on loan from Patricia G of the Fans of Blackbird Designs Facebook Group. 126w by 150h. Replaced the Weeks Dye Works cotton embroidery floss for silks. Began Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Finished Sunday, August 23, 2015

All in all this took 13 days to stitch from start to finish. I'd say that was not bad at all, yea? :)

Well, I had best be off. I need to clean up my stitching area and take a break from stitching for tonight at least. I've stitched like a mad woman today and I'd rather not get carpal tunnel if I can help it! 

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Have a good week! :)
