Nova by Genny Morrow

This is one of my favorite counted needlepoint pieces ever. Genny came to Denver to teach this to our ANG Chapter – Colorado Columbine about 1991(ish). It has been on my “to-do” list every year but always ends up back in the closet. At the current rate of progress I calculated that it will be finished about 2053. That is so completely unacceptable that I have decided to make this my needlepoint focus piece for the remainder of the year.
This is my current progress on Nova
I have stitched on this piece exclusively this past week and completed 20 squares. There are a total of 396 squares and I have finished 100. If I were able to continue at that rate, I would finish the piece in about 15 weeks – or December of this year. That won’t happen!
There are so many other projects to work on I am hoping that, realistically, I can finish in mid 2014. Some of these cute squares are not as easy to stitch as they seem and I have done a fair amount of ripping and re-stitching. Time’s a wastin’ ….
