I have finally finished the hardanger tablecloth I started some 4 years ago. I am usually a quick stitcher, but because of the size of the project, which left me with a lot of weaving, I could only stitch for around half an hour each time .... it is difficult for me to hold fabric in hand, and there was a lot with this one !! So half an hour at a time was enough for me before it became too painfull. This cloth measures 35 x 35 inches square and is ideal for my crystal table in my little front room !
That's me finished with stitching for a few days ...... in the new year I have decided to start a Loopylou design called Flower Patch, which is a lovely design by one of my favourite designers .... plus I also have some designing of my own to do for my stitchy group ...
.... and this is the project I will be starting on Sunday ...

Wow Val that is just beautiful, well worth the time and work you've put into it. Definite heirloom. Great new project, never done any Loopylou.
Your tablecloth is just beautiful, Val. I've never tried a piece that large, yet.
The Loopylou piece is going to be gorgeous, I love the colors.
Take Care & Happy Stitchin'

Fantastic work Val, well done on persevering and getting it completed. The LL looks fantastic as well, good luck with that.
Your tablecloth is gorgeous!!!
Lovely Val. Great job on the table cloth, and grats to you on finally finishing it. I have that same problem when I stitch anything in hand, so kudos to you!
