ABC Framed & Prom Photos

Stevie had a wonderful time at the Prom on Friday, it was great to see all the kids dressed up, they all looked really glamorous:-) and thankfully the rain held off. Here's Stevie and two of the lads in all their finery.

Abecedaire free chart from here
Stitched on 28 count with Anchor threads 1013 & 1014
I was surprised when i looked back that I've been working on this on and off for a year - eek! time flies when your having fun, lol
The past week has been very busy with other things, so not much stitching done, hopefully I'll do some catching up this week and I'll have some progress on Rubie Owl to share with you next time.
So that's it for this time, short and sweet!
Speak soon x

  9. Stevie looks great. My two have several friends at Summerhill and they had their Prom on Friday too. Looking at all the photos made the girls so excited and they can't wait for theirs.
    Good ole Betty's has come up trumps again... fab framing. I work just down the road from the shop (by the old Bronx building) you must wave if you go by !!!

  14. Oh my your daughter is just stunning. Her prom dress is gorgeous and only makes her prettier.

    Thank you for your comment on my blog. I found that trim at a local Joanns. I can see if they have more if you'd like. Email me. (My email is on my profile.)

  16. Hi Maggie!

    Wow!! Stevie looked absolutely
    stunning in her beautiful blue
    gown and dainty tiara. Mom must
    have been so proud, eh? Looks
    like she had a wonderful time
    that night too.

    Your ABC looks amazing in it's
    frame!!! You did a wonderful job
    of picking the colors for it and
    stitching it. Every time that I
    see yours I want to stitch my own
    version. It looks like a lot of
    fun to stitch too. If this took
    you a year to stitch I hate to
    imagine how long it would take me!

    Hey, we had a wee bit of snow
    fall this weekend!! To say we
    were massively unimpressed would
    be an understatement. It didn't
    last too long, but still...

    Hopefully warmer weather and
    sunshine for next weekend, and
    for the long weekend after that.

    How's your garden doing so far
    this Spring???

    Cheers!

  18. Stevie looks wonderful, what a beautiful dress. Hope the boys treated her like a lady!

    Framer did a wonderful job, it looks superb

  19. Doesn't your daughter look beautiful Maggie! Glad she had a nice evening. Your ABC SAL sampler is just so beautifully framed. The framer has wonderful frames and does a good job. You did a fabulous job on it and I love your color choices. You say I inspired you to start it with mine but you are now inspiring me to get mine done with yours. I want to get it finished as a way to say I win against not feeling well. I bought a frame for it just over a week ago. I saw the frame and just knew it would be right and thankfully it was.

    Hugs from Holland ~
