It took 2 solid hours yesterday, but when the end was in sight I just couldn’t stop! After working on this for nearly a year I can’t believe that it’s finally finished. I was surprised at how big it seemed after I took it off the sewing frame. It’s going to look fantastic in the baby room. I’ve tried ironing it as it has the crease marks in the fabric from where it was folded in the packet. Ironing has just made it seem more pronounced at this stage though. I’m going to try again today with a bit more steam and see if that works but I’m nervous about it as I’m not sure of the colour-fastness of the threads and my iron often suddenly decides to spurt out dollops of water. Fingers crossed that I can get them out. We are heading into the framers today to drop it off. They’ve quoted me $100 to stretch, stitch and frame it. That might help the crease marks too hopefully. Can’t wait to see the final product!!!
