Simplystitchinginthegarden: Cape Cod Girls finished

Cape Cod Girls finished

Well, I finally sat down and photographed my CCG sampler. I had finished her awhile back but never had a chance to get her on the blog.

This was a fun stitch, which I did with several on-line friends

I didn't have the 40ct fabric that was suggested but used a Luguna which had a bluish molted look to it - so my sampler is a bit bigger than the original.

Now my problem will be when I do the male version of this sampler, I will need to find similar fabric so they will be the same size and hopefully the same color tone.

This was a fun stitch and I do know that one other of the gals who was in this SAL has finished, but I believe the others are persevering. What is hard now is the holidays are coming and so much other projects are capturing our interests.

Have some more finished which I hope to post tomorrow -- see you then -- Roberta

Deb said...: Very nice, even your choice of fabric is great! And male version? Is there a male version. Hmmmm, I have mine in for framing now - perhaps I should order another frame that matches. Must find out this! Fantastic finish!; September 14, 2009 at 2:48 PM

I love the way Cape Cod Girls has turned out. The fabric colour really suits it.
What a wonderful expression on the mermaids face and the colour of the octopuses is lovely :>)
