TY lAB you are my number one cheerleader...lol boy I forgot how the fingers hurt with handstitching.. but I really am enjoying the journey. Since my grandmother was from Indiana.. the next one coming up is being named "firefly" .. I still have to put all the french knots in the flower middles.. another hour or so and she will be "released" !

I think I would like to have it professtionally done..I thought about some sort of swirling around the butterflies..I am open to any ideas?
I am dealing with really bad pain in my back and leg.. so doing this is keeping my mind busy..

Sorry to hear about your back & legs.
I have finished redoing my sewing room & it is all put back.
