We have a finish!!

The Isle of Hope is complete.  Well, almost.  I do have that darning section that should be redone.  I will consider that at a later date.  I finished up the statue of Liberty this morning.  I am so happy to have this one done.  It is long and skinny.  The project kit also included some fabric for backing and I have the banner hardware.  So finishing is decided.... I just need to get to it!!

As I looked around for something to stitch, I noticed that part two of the Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler was waiting to be done.  So I started working on this.  I have done something to my ankle.  It hurts to walk on it - some times.  So I am hobbling around, I have a brace on my foot and I am taking a day to put my foot up and stitch.  I am enjoying it.

Isle of Hope - progress

I have a question.  Is it a WIP when you started a project at a festival?  This is the Isle of Hope by Jeannette Douglas, a class I took at Celebrations of Needlework in New Hampshire.  I haven't worked on it much since the festival in spring.  Today I worked on the luggage, moved on to the flower blackwork section and now doing the bargello part.  Perhaps I am a quarter of the way done?  Now that I have returned to it, it is my current project.  I didn't really consider it a WIP.  I think of that term being used when you do rotation and do many projects at one time.  I am amazed that people do that because I would never be able to do that.  Anyway - - I was lazy this morning.  I wanted to stitch.  I had nothing going on so I picked this up and made some good progress.
