One Nation Finished!

I am pleased to report that One Nation is done!  I put the last stitch in last night.  This is a big project since it was stitched on 28 count linen. It is  28" x 15", and will cost a fortune to frame.  It will have to wait a while.  


I am happy with my straight stitched stars now and would recommend them to anyone who has finished the strips and can't bear the thought of cross stitching 50 stars.  


Thanks to the SAL, I was able to stick with this project until it was done.  To see what others in the group are stitching:    Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Mary Margaret, Renee, Carmela, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, Connie, AJ, Jenny, Laura, Cathie, Linda, Helen

Yey! Well done for finishing this huge piece. It deserves to be on display rather than half finished in a drawer doesn't it? Your solution for the stars is perfect. Looking forward to your next project :-)

Hooray!!! I actually love the way the stars look, I think they look more bold that way. (Or, um, technically the stripes are bold, the stars are bright, eh?) Beautiful work on such a huge piece!

Happy dancing indeed!! It's wonderful! Have you considered turning this into a pillow or cushion instead of framing it? I'd love to have something like that on a sofa. :-)

One Happy Dance for you! And I agree, your stars are looking great!!!

This is absolutely brilliant. You have done an amazing job and will be well worth the framing cost

Oh wow, your First Nation is stunning, Laura.The wording of the states is incredible and your stars look perfect. I think your idea of doing them in straight stitch is inspired.

I like how you did the stars. Maybe you can get a coupon to help with framing costs.
