Believe it or not, I finished part 1 of a Chatelaine the month it came out! I did I did! Remember the over 2 piece I mentioned that I had been working intensively on in my last blog post? That was it! It took me less than a week to finish and here it is! I am sooooo in love with this piece that I had finish-itis when I got to the end. So-much-so that Kat had to prod me to actually finish it before July 1st when part 2 would come out. I know it sounds silly, but I really really love this one… more than any of the others. Oh yeah… details… it’s being stitched on 28 count “Romantic Interlude” linen from Silkweaver although I don’t think it’s 28 count anymore due to the dyeing process. I think it’s more like 30 count. I’m also using all the called for silks and beads. The empty spots are for the crystals and the central treasure which I won’t put on until the end.

Let’s see if I can keep up with this and have part 2 done before August 1st!

And finally… Happy Birthday, love! *SMOOCHIES!!*
