That is one BAP if I've ever seen one and I am so thrilled for you!! You know, it's not how long it took you to finish it, but that you did finish it. I'll bet your husband is thrilled and it's going to look so nice when you get it framed and on the wall. I'm sure that looking at it will make you remember things that went on during the time you stitched it. <br /><br />Love the presents from Jolene - she really made your birthday special.<br /><br />Congratulations on your wonderful finish and tons of hugs to you dear friend!!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428741656739457202.post-52396268467033278672011-05-15T21:57:23.052-07:002011-05-15T21:57:23.052-07:00Truly awesome Lorraine!
