I've Started So I'll Finish... Eventually: YIPPEE IT'S FINISHED

I have finished my Carousel Horse. I completed all the back stitch and then went back looking at it closely and discovered quite a few missed back-stitches(probably where I'd finished a thread and gone on to a different part), so I had to sort them out. Next came the blending filament(Still not keen).
I can tell you all I have breathed a big sigh of relief. Now I can start on my next UFO.
Before I do that though I've got to sort out the threads and hopefully finished a Christmas piece that I've nearly done. Then of course there's all the other things to do that seem to crop up at this time of year.
I really do thank all of you that have sent support via this site, I can say that without you the Horse would still be in the cupboard.
My next big decision is the framing of it but that will not be until the New Year as I live some considerable distance from the framer. When it is totally completed I'll post a picture then as well.
Looking forward to seeing the next finish. Happy stitching to you all

Welcome...

... to the SAL designed to help finish those UFOs that have been lurking in a dark corner for months, if not years!

There are no rules or time limits as such. All you have to do is this.

Become a member (email me via my profile and I will send you an invitation).

On your first post give the following information:

The UFO you have chosen, designer etc.

How long it has been a UFO.

Why you think it became one in the first place.

A photo.

Set a target of how much time you will give to your UFO each month. It could be an evening, a day, a weekend, or a week, whatever you choose.

Start stitching and by the end of the month post your progress. Feel free to add more posts if you wish.

Label your posts with a minimum of your name and the design.

Start stitching and turn those UFOs into the finished item.

Good Luck!

Jen

I know I have this somewhere, I also have a book of carousel horses throughout the year. One day....maybe
