And it only took twice as long as I had planned. Originally, I had contemplated about an hour per item and that worked well for the first three. Not much stitching, everything fit exactly where it was supposed to. The fourth? Eh – it just took longer with a few color substitutions since I have no clue as to where the spools of thread that are supposed to be in those emptied slots have disappeared.
It is not like my craft room is completely neat, organized, or logically arranged.
And then I headed merrily down the path of some lovely embroideries, the files for which it looks like I purchased back in 2018. After looking at what I had – I went with England, France, and US to match the skylines already completed for London, Paris, and New York. After that? Well, I still had plenty of towels….. so why not add Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand…. I will tell you why … 26k to 41K stitches per.
But they are done, rolled up with a ribbon fastened with an enamel lapel pin featuring grannie and tucked into a bag featuring a world map. I am planning on getting up early tomorrow and dropping off the set at the start of the day so I can beat most of the traffic. Hopefully one of the other nurses will hide it in her locker till next week….
