Don't talk to me about patience! >dum< Honestly, I am not a patient person, and from the minute I bought the pattern, I wanted it finished! I think what keeps me going is that if I get fed up, with it, I stop and wait until I fancy staring again (sometimes it was weeks!) and also the promise of seeing it completed.

Honestly, if I can do it, anyone can!

Well done. It is really lovely.
I think all of us that do crafts want it finished as soon as we start. Mainly so we can start another.

Helen that is so lovely and very impressive. Such a shame it has to belong to someone else but I'm sure it will be treasured.
If you are anything like me, once I've made something that took lots of time and yes patience, I can never face repeating the make. I happily give away, but have to admit I sometimes wish that I hadn't when I see my makes, or paintings in someone else's home.
Brilliantly done )t'
