All done.
Branches and birds next.
Sticking with chart colors except for two. So far.
My 732 wasn't showing well, too close to the 730, so changed one shade up to 733. The branches of 3787 is too gray for this linen so I plan on 3021 as shown. Probably change the bird color, we'll see. It's a bad habit you know.
I'm hoping the lighter linen I choose for the next project proves my errors were caused from fabric color. Until my mood swings, the top part of this design will be next.
As for Jack, these tiny stars were repeated several times because of a one or three thread pick up instead of two. What is going on? The frustration finishing that border would have caused his demise. Looking for a bat or two to stitch in the right corner, may do a basic outline border. May.
Making soups and chili for the freezer and I wonder why I didn't know this.
Always struggling to break up very lean ground beef and this did it perfectly in a minute. My my my. The light bulb finally lit. But my batch of stuffed pepper soup was not like those purchased, very disappointed.
Valerie, please click my email link (top right) with your address for the chart.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Ain't this sweet?
Backs are taped, haven't decided on length yet. Considered three different to hang as a group, but I like to add stitchery on door knobs also. Can I make their length adjustable? Yes. Do I have the patience? Nope.
Orange buttons? Or black?
Enjoy your day.

Scallop border?
Checkered border?
Changed his brim again, green collar with raisin and gold jacket.
My almost cousin made it through, triple ended up quadruple bypass (Pittsburgh). They couldn't harvest from her leg, used her arm instead. Valve surgery was not done and since they had access, I'm assuming it was not necessary once they finished. She has MS and the physical therapy will be modified to her ability. But with regular doc visits, EKGs, blood work, how do you jump to quadruple bypass? That is quite scary.
Looking at this photo, I should put on my big girl pants and do it as charted. It's different from other borders, and darn cute, but a lot of stitching.

New eyes, new nose.
Bigger hat brim.
For the collar and jacket .... wild green? Purple? Or as is.
The border may be stitched, depends on my mood. If I am weary, I will do the stars and a simple checkered outline. This is really nice though. We'll see.
Haven't pulled a name yet, several anonymous, a few corrected but not all.
The other framed piece is E. Harris 1876, lots of changes, from Quaint Rose Needlearts. It is not offered, just the small floral from Fragments in Time.
Thoughts are with my almost cousin ( my cousin's cousin) having triple bypass today.
Have a good day.
