This was the most ridiculous finish I have ever made with that open shape between the legs and the turkey work mane. I had to ladder stitch that space closed, all stuffed, with the fabric unraveling , the stuffing trying to escape everywhere, my big ole fingers trying to hold it all together. I needed an extra hand! I ruined quite a few good pins! Yikes. And my fingers were SORE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I made up my La D Da drum.

It was a little early Christmas gift to myself. Sandy at The Attic got it done very quickly for me so I could display it at Christmas. Didn&#8217;t she do a wonderful job? I love how the floral scrolls and diamond pattern in the frame echoes the whitework in the lacey bands. I love how the red fabric behind the hardanger is the very perfect shade of red.  I love everything about it. It truly is an heirloom! I would like to stitch the Heirloom Christmas one as well-the one with the Christmas tree on top. I think it is a bit shorter but just as pretty. I will have to look into that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once more this year, THANK YOU to Rachel for hosting this fantastic SAL.
