UFO finished!

[JackieC]

I hope this photo upload works... I managed to get a 12 year UFO of the Isle of Lewis Callanish stone circle finished this summer, it needs an iron and I'm not an expert stitcher so it's not expertly done! I meant to post this a while ago, life has managed to get in the way but I've just returned from a trip to England with a load of threads, fabric and projects to while away the winter months.



Darn... didn't work, I'll keep trying!

Update on the umpteenth edit - hurrah! I think I've cracked it!

[wendywombat]

Bet it looks great, I look forward to seeing it!

[JackieC]

Can anyone see that now? I'm using the Mac, I'm more familiar with my desktop which is gravely ill...

[Mabel Figworthy]

Can't see it, but congratulations on finishing such a long-standing UFO !

[lavenderbee]

I can see it & it looks great. Well done. Look forward to seeing your new acquisitions on here when started

[Mabel Figworthy]

I can see it now! We visited the stones the summer before last, very impressive.

Looks gorgeous.

Would like to see them, but on the two occasions I've been north of the border I was made to feel so welcome as a 'Bluidy Englishman', it'll never happen. Had I been made to feel that welcome for myself as a person as opposed to a member of a nation, I'd have been happy to return, only to somewhere else. (As an aside, my welcome made me very pro Scottish Independence and I was furious I didn't have a vote)

Regards,

Richard.

Grats on the finish! It is lovely.

I can see and it and it's a great finish!!! Congrats!!!

[JackieC]

Thank you everyone, that is really encouraging as it's the most complicated pattern I've ever followed! I found a very nice frame for it for £2 at a charity shop, I was very pleased with that find.

Richard, that is so awful to hear of your experiences in Scotland, that is totally unacceptable but I would like to say that in my experience it is not representative of the Scots overall. I've not had any negative experiences on my many visits to Scotland, so I hope that some day you will decide to go to see Callanish. It is amazing, as are many of the other ancient sites on the island, and I found the people to be lovely.

That's a nice finish. I hope to visit Scotland one day, and this picture makes me want to visit even more. Thanks for sharing a picture of your finish.

[seedreemer]

It's lovely and congratulations on the finish! Please post a pic once it's framed.

[Squirrel]

Well Done on getting it finished. It is beautifully stitched and is going to look lovely in the frame you have bought I am sure. A lovely memory of for you.

[Serinde]

Lovely finish.

@Richard: I'm sorry your experience was so negative. There are stupid people no matter where you go, I guess. Should you ever venture north to the Hebrides, remember that, to them, everyone on the mainland is in the same boat -- we're all Sassenachs!

[JackieC]

Serinde, you're spot on about the Hebrideans - lovely people, but they didn't seem to share any sense of nation with my husband who is from Scotland's North East!

Lovely picture, and well done on completing such a long-standing UFO!

I have to say I've always found the Scots very pleasant, sounds like you were unlucky Richard.

[rcperryls]

Congratulations on a lovely finish!!! We didn't get to Scotland on my trip to the UK, but it is most definitely on the agenda for my next voyage across the big pond! I would love to see this stone circle. Loved Stonehenge and Amsbury. Fascinating, mystical and more awesome in person than I imagined.

That is such a unique design and it looks lovely! Can't wait to see it framed!

Great job!
