It didn't seem that it would at first but those trees were for me what took so long.  Also finished another smaller one since the last time I posted a picture back on May 20. This is how many sections that are completed.  This next section is also a large section but at least not as big as the other. Expect this to take me a little while too. For the Winter Wonderland and many other embroidery work, I use a product that is printable, sticky back and...

Haven't gone anywhere and I'm feeling like I need to get away. Until then, life goes on. Haven't done sewing on a regular bases. With that said I was able to get 3 tops finished and now ready to go to the quilter. First is Scrappy One ( update; I had been in touch with the person who has the blog "I Just Love Quilts" .
