Last night (18 April 2016) I put in the last stitches on Feathers and Friends by Butternut Road. I am absolutely thrilled with this finish!! As far as I know, I made no modifications to the pattern and it is exactly as charted. Fabric used is 35 count natural linen with DMC.
Just for fun … this is my progress photo from 17 April 2016. As much as I dread putting in the back-stitching, the end result is well worth it. Seriously, the back stitching was not that big of a deal.
When I get close to the end of a project I tend to get a little obsessed. This project was no exception. It took 46 days for me to stitch Feathers & Friends.
What next????

Beautiful!
Looks fantastic
thank you for looking! she was fun to stitch and it feels great to have her completed after so long as a “to-do”.
Thank you for your beautiful picture. I was given the pattern by my aunt, but no picture or cover. It’s great to finally know what the end result looks like.
glad you found the photo! it think this is my favorite design by Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum.
