That's ok Lisa. Here it is an almost cold 18c - not sure what it converts to though but it is darned cold for the sub tropics. :(

It is FINISHED. Now off to fight with PB to get it onto here. :roll:

Image

I think I filled in all right empty spaces but no doubt they will become clear once I have a quiet long look at it.

Thank you all for your encouragement and positive help - it has been a big boost to get it finished.
Now onto Mabel 's Sal then the birth announcement.

TO GIVE AWAY - the KIT with the chart spare beads and 'paper' aida FIRST to PM me with name & address gets it. :lol: :whoop:

Here is my newest stitching - the birth sampler for my great grand daughter - when she arrives. :D

and hopefully this is where I am at - if PB agrees. :x:

The verse is The two things we can give our children are Roots and Wings.

Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately my genes only included feet and arms. :doh:

Like the sentiment. Someone called it 'Hopes & History' within my hearing once, but it is a lot less poetic than 'Roots & Wings'.
Hope the incipient brat arrives safely.

Regards,

Richard.

Thanks everyone. The baby is due in early Sept but may arrive early, hence the need to get the bulk of it done now and then just details to add.

It was originally a chart I bought to celebrate my first grand kids and its has been stowed away every since. It will come in useful again for the next generation no doubt. :lol: .
