Just a very little bit is left now.... the specialty stitches (eyelets and rhodes). They won't take me long at all to do tomorrow. I guess I could stay up late and finish it tonight, but it already is quite late here and I do have to get up early tomorrow.... I am in the process of moving from a small office to a much bigger one in the same office building in Lawrence, MA. Today, Mike and I went down there to pack and to meet up with the telephone man to switch my lines over. Tomorrow the movers come. It will be snowing, yuck! But... it should be a quick move and then I can come home and finish Part 5 - at last!! (Another reason I need to quit now is that Beau has decided that he must take over my lap!! He is my biggest of the six - he takes up a lot of lap, and leaves really no room for the Q-Snap!).
I love this German Quaker Sampler! I saw in Bine's blog that she was stitching this in an organized SAL with the designer, Martina Dey. The SAL is closed, but I joined the Yahoo group (Wiehenburg Samplers in my sidebar) in hopes of getting in on the next one.... and, then Martina decided to release the chart for sale! Yay! I got mine - I am so excited!! Isn't it pretty??!!
OK, I am checking out The Phantom of the Opera on Karen's advice. I have it on right now (Mike bought me the DVD)... but I must admit, I am a bit lost - how can one stitch to this movie? I am missing something in the story here... and I hate to admit this, but I wish it were less singing and more dialogue - that is pretty bad to say, I know!!
Stitched on today: Medieval Town Mandala

Congrats Carol! You're almost there :) I admire your tenacity :)
Good luck with the moving today! Enjoy your weekend :)
Beautiful progress. It seems you're nearly done!
Carol good luck with the move, MTM looks awesome!
Nope, stitching and Erik just aren't a valid combination... and the movie is just different enough from the stage production (or else my memory of the play was that bad) that I was caught off guard a couple times. Where do you think you're lost?
WOOHOO!! It must feel great to see the end of the tunnel. I wonder what next month will bring:)
Good luck with the move!
You are so close to a finish on part 5...YAY!! It looks stunning!!

Oh WOW, Carol! MTM looks fabulous! Part 5 may have been huge, but it was definitely worth it. :)
Wow MTM looks fantastic CArol.
I would also like to say a big thank you for my pressie the chart is lovely and will def be stitching that real soon. I also love my little tacky bob box, that will come in handy when I doing the beads for CA.

That Quaker is lovely. I joined the Yahoo group too but can't get the chart yet. It's lovely though :)
MTM wow. You're doing a fantastic job. I like the Quaker chart too. You choose so many nice things.
Ouch - that's one accident. So pleased it was not you and Mike.
