This past week I finally finished up a very large piece called Celtic Banner by Butternut Road.  I used a ‘green’ conversion so it’s not in the original browns but was inspired by one we saw finished in this color way in a store that no longer exists.  In 2006 my best friend and I both purchased this piece and selected matching Yellow fabric (32 Ct Belfast in Ray of Light).  We started it when we took a vacation to Maine together on August 3, 2006.  Some history can be read on this post : Celtic Banner 2011

Most of this piece was stitched when we were together over the years (mostly on trips to Maine).  This year was the first since my kids were born that we picked it up again during a recent visit.  We decided we should just finish it up now that we had picked it up again and a month later – it’s done!

Bottom Half : It’s great to have such a large piece finished after so long.  To truly finish it though it needs to be hangable – so I need to figure out how I want to finish it off.  I’m sure that will be a project of its own.
