Finally finished this beast

A couple of months ago I started this "big" Free Style Embroidery panel. Happy to report it's finished! I don't think I'll add another thing. Where could I anyway? Here's some close ups:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's a little bittersweet to have it finished, ya know? I usually worked on it early in the mornings and also in the car while waiting for little people. 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

I told the Free Style Embroidery E-Ziners I'd be posting more work here, and there it is! I hope it inspires!! There is a lot to look at. Here's a photo of the whole thing...for perspective's sake:

 

It was a rainy day when I took these...apologies for the grainy-ness of the photo! Anyway, now what do I do with it? I'll hang it in my studio probably and somehow. Unless you have any other better ideas. Do you? I'd love to hear them!

Love it Teresa! I bet you will start something new and just as sweet! :)

Just beautiful! I love the sacred heart piece on it - I love anything religious like that. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[Angie]

It is soooo beautiful, Teresa! Makes me want to get mine out again. Mine has been falling by the wayside, too many projects keep swaying my eye! :)

It is gorgeous! I am having so much fun with mine-but it's going slowly :)

[Lorrie]

It's just beautiful, Teresa. A lot of love and time has gone into it.

Miss T., I would have it professionally framed! It is certainly an heirloom! Definitely a piece that should be hung in a place of honor!

Love it- and you have inspired me to get back to work on my free style sampler. I'm thinking about finishing mine as a banner- stitching it to a piece of canvas or heavy felt and making a rod pocket to hang the whole thing from a cord.

(Or I might go the masking tape route, too)

[Lorelei Lane]

Beautiful handwork, Teresa! I'd make a rod pocket and hang it with cord and attach a prize ribbon (don't you have one of those in your studio). Can't wait to see what's next....

Gorgeous Teresa. It represents SO many hours of work - I'll bet it will look fab in the studio.
Hope you're having a great week so far :-)

It's yummy yummy:) Thanks eversomuch for the stitchery inspiration. The e-zine was so fun! I've even talked my friend into signing up recently, who thinks she isn't crafty..........and she is loving it. Now that is cool:) Enjoy your day!

I just love this. A little of this and a little of that is my favorite way to create and it's what I like to look at. Wonderful.

I think it would make a FABULOUS pillow. Completely unique.
