25 Years To Complete

No one can say I start a project and never finish it, the process may take years....like 25....but I complete it.

In my April 8, 2011 I explained the story of this Noah's Ark sampler.  At that time I thought I would give it to a great grandchild but now I know my new grandchild will be the recipient.

I came across this work in progress while going through some boxes that haven't seen the light of day in a couple of years.

The issue date of the magazine is January/February 1987.  I'm positive I started the project right after I bought the magazine 24 years ago.  The pages are very yellow, thank goodness I made copies of the instructions way back when.

If my memory serves me right, my plan for this counted cross stitch was for a grandchild.

Well, I have 4 grandchildren ages 15 to 9 and I think by the time I do finish this they will be a little old for Noah's Ark.  Ok, I've got it - I have 10 to 15 years to finish it for a great grandchild.

I'm working on it in the evenings while I'm in my counted cross stitch mood however long it will last.
