Baby Jesus, a free design from Lavender and Lace, is at last finished. We had a few disagreements and I did have to rip out a significant amount of stitches. I also had some problems doing the back stitching on His head. Plus in a couple of spots I got maroon colored pencil dust from my working copy onto the white floss. I was afraid it might not wash out, but it did. I used Great Value blue dish soap and washed and rinsed a couple of times and it did come out nicely. The piece was pressed dry on a bath towel before the beads and metallics were added and it looks fabulous. I am not sure how I will finish it but that it fine for now.
