New Start: Lords Prayer

Well, I've put the Gourmet ABC and the Nautical ABC on the back burner for a few days.  I promise I'm going to go back to them both ASAP!!  There's a very very good reason why I shelved them for right now.   My daughter and I share the same godmother, who is a nun.  We received the invitation about 2 weeks ago that our godmother will be celebrating her 50th jubilee as a nun on Oct 17th.

I had no idea what to get her as a gift, and this past Christmas, kiddo and I gave her a quilt, so a quick quilt was out of the question.  My kiddo says, "Can't you stitch her a prayer?" BINGO.  So I ordered the Lords Prayer kit off Ebay.  I got it, started stitching it with the thread it came with and wound up ripping most out.. it kept knotting.  My husband then says, "Why don't you stitch it in her favorite color? There's only 3 colors in it."  Off to the store I went.  Got (hopefully) enough thread, and new fabric.  Fresh start.

In one week:
What it will look like:


Day 1: 3 hours in:


Day 1:  4 hours in:


Day 2: about 10 hours total:


Day 5 (I missed a few pictures!!)  About 20 hours so far total:


Hopefully I get another row or so done tonight.  I bought the frame for this one already, so this *has* to get done ASAP.  Aiming for the first week in October to have it done.
