FINISHED (but not FFOd) NEEDLEWORK: Garden Delights by Elizabeth Designs

 The stitching is finished at any rate.  Thanks to the #24HoursOfCrossStitch virtual retreat, I finished the lettering over one on the Elizabeth Designs class piece. 

Pattern:  Garden Delights (a teaching class)  Class 1999 taught by Kelly at Tapestry of Dreams

Designer: Elizabeth Foster of Elizabeth's Designs

Fabric:  28 count Lambswool Linen

Threads:  Soie d' Alger (assorted), and Silk 'N Colors (English Meadow).  As charted.

Embelishments: Charms from "By Jupiter"

Stitches: Cross Stitch (one over one lettering), Satin Stitch, Tied Windmill Stitch, Fan Stitch, Herringbone Squares, Double Running and Backstitch, Algerian Eyelets, Double Ringed Backstitch (not pulled), Large Half Eyelets

The FFO plan is to turn this into a project bag. 

ETA:  The project bag finish is here.

    1. Put in just shy of 14 hours in on it during the quarterly virtual retreat #24HoursOfCrossStitch. That kind of focused time makes for QUICK progress for sure.
