I finished Fraktur Hex! I did it! Such a huge happy dance over here folks!
I spent yesterday finishing the last three birds. Before I frame it I want to stitch our initials and date but other than that I am moving on. It has been almost a year and a half and a huge journey for me because this was the largest project I have ever undertaken and the first time I have stitched on linen.
Here is where I left off last update:

And here it is finished!


I have to pick a new project but for now I am just going to enjoy looking at this one.
Please visit the other stitchers in our SAL. They are stitching wonderful pieces. Thank you again to Avis for continuing to keep us on track and organizing all of us. See you in another three weeks! -MM

Yes I had a massive part of it I had to rip out which is never fun. Thank you Claire!

This is gorgeous! You should stitch the initials and date before you put it aside. Looking forward to seeing what is next!
