I said that this would be the year of completion for me. This would be the year that I would get long-worked-on or long-planned projects completed.

It is an auspicious goal, it is ambitious and over-reaching. And I have completed the first project.

The Needlecraft Project is Done!

 
Why does something like this take so long? I have only been working on it since my oldest son was a baby. I would do a little here and there, bring it out when he was sleeping and then put it away for a year or five.
 
I found it last year and decided to get it finished. Fill in that pitcher, complete the outline stitching and revel in a project completed.
 

Where I Started From This January.

 
I am so glad this project is done. Now on to the antique quilt!
