I am doing my happy dance! Thirty-three weeks working on this project and I am finished.
Here is where I left off last time:
And here is the finished piece:
I had my husband hold the fabric up in a different light and look at the difference it made below:
The better light completely transformed the face of Jesus so you can see His full jaw line.
This was a very challenging project for me because of the colors and the thread quality but in the end I hate to be cliche but it certainly was a journey for me.
Thanks all for cheering me on! See you in three weeks with a new project. -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
