Toile Afghan - I just finished this last evening, but I have not washed the stabilizer out. Waiting until I have another one done for my younger DD. I loved the way this turned out. All Designs are from EmbLibrary - 2 sets - Toile Snowflakes, and Vintage Toile Angels. There are 20 blocks, so I had to mix and match so that I could get this done. The afghan was purched from Michael's or JoAnn's - I had to get them from both places. Lots of stitches here, and if I gave a stitch count, I would not do the one I need to have ready next Saturday.

I cn't really say - I have been working on it off and on while doing other projects. But, each designs has from about 8000 to 23000 stitches or more - and there are 20 designs on it. I worked on it yesterday, and completed 6 blocks. Lotd of hours, I would say.

Thank you - I hope my DD loves it. I made it for her rememberance room as she calls it. She got the antique poster bed from my parents, and had it brought back into good condition, and these are the colors in that room. I am trying to figure out a good tag for it so that I can date it. I used the same color in the bobbin, so it looks the same - front and back.
