Frederika finis!

Frederika - design by Carriage House Samplings
36 count Silkweavers Antique Gold Linen
Recommended NPI silk one over two

Finally Ms. Fred is complete! Well except for the date which I will make 2010. I need to design it so it matches the initials that I'm going to put on Mr. Fred. As I mentioned last week I did make a small change to the chart - the bottom row of diamonds in the border don't butt up to the black border like charted. I'll do Mr. F the same way. I'll take a better photo tomorrow after she is ironed. I finished her on the way into work this morning and still had time for a tiny nap.

What's next? I'm going to get started on one of my six Christmas gifts for my family. I'm doing six counted needlepoints that I'm planning on putting into box lids.

Have a great long weekend for those of you who get one. I have an agility trial with Clancy Saturday and Sunday but Monday is all mine. :-)

Enjoy!

Looks great Margie! Can't wait to see your gifts when they are finished. Took me a minute or two to figure out that was what you were typing as the green doesn't show up well on your brown background.Had to get real close to monitor to see it LOL How you have a great long weekend too. I am vegging as I babysat and cooked and cleaned for daughter while she worked all week. I am so ready for a "real" job so I can get back to work.
