The Tree is Finished! The Frame is Ordered!

At last! The Tree That Never Grew is finished!

This is the biggest element of my wall panel and it is HUGE! This is where all the shoes will hang once I have the Glasgow Crest and the other elements sewed onto the fabric. My shoes are awesome! I can't wait to get to the stage where they're being sewed - it means I'm just about finished.

I visited the framer on Friday and ordered a stretcher frame for my work. Because of the heavy embroidery, the fabric is beginning to pull, so it will have to be stretched. If there is time, I will ask the framer to stretch it, but it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself - we'll see.

I'll keep you posted - and maybe put up another picture with the finished tree.

p.s. I finished it around 8pm tonight - Started and 8.30am this morning and worked on it all day yesterday - had a meeting in Uni on Friday, so I lost a day. Time-consuming business, this embroidery lark! :D
