Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
The very first finish of 2020 is Janlynn's "The Sportsman's Dream"(I call it "Fisherman's Dream"). Now, that the BS is done, I admit that it does make a great difference. But boy, was it not a test for my nervous system!
A picture will be added to this post after ironing.
Now I am going to "get rid" of the Easter towel by the weekend.

Looking forward to seeing this new finish. BS is like that, of course, but it's usually there (most of the time) for a good reason...
Maybe I should think about "getting rid" of my WIPs... might make it easier to just get on with it!

Serinde, by "getting rid" I mean completing/finishing that WIP.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
This will be a double surprise- the birthday "child" (my good old colleague) does not know that I know he is a keen fisherman, and does not suspect I am a stitcher.

Oh what a lovely view out of that window!
It is indeed a fisherman's dream
I can see why the backstitch was a trial for you, but it has been oh so worth it in the end.
Lucky old colleague
You have stitched it beautifully Lyudmila.

Two surprises on his birthday - lucky friend! It certainly is a lovely design, such detail and so personal because it was chosen with him in mind.

Absolutely beautiful! Your friend is going to be so delighted and the surprise is doubly wonderful. I hope you make sure to get a picture of his expression when he opens your gift. That is a photo that will have so many fun memories!

I knew exactly what you meant -- I just thought it was a clever way of showing the WIP who was boss!Podolyanka wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 12:46 pm Serinde, by "getting rid" I mean completing/finishing that WIP.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
It is an absolute work of art Lyudmyla and that tedious back stitching is worth every second you put into it. You are a and here are a few more for fabulous stitching

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Thank you for your kind comments. Here is another finish of 2020(was stitched in parallel with "The Fisherman's Dream" to keep me sane). Back stitch free, this Easter towel was easy and very relaxing.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
That's lovely! Are the words the traditional greeting "Christ is risen, He is risen indeed" (or "truly risen")?

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
Yes, exactly. Mabel, I did not know the English response to "Christ is risen", so thank you very much for your accidental, but so greatly apprecieted help. I have already put the phrase down into my special notebook. Funnilly enough, the words and phrases learnt at the uni 47 years ago (touch wood) all sit in their places in the brain, the "findings" of recent times need to be written down or they may go as easilly as they come.

Re: Podolyanka's Finishes 2020
You're welcome! The Dutch version is more like yours, I think, it says "He is truly risen".
