Yes, believe it or not I'm still around. Just getting over a horrible case of the crud that knocked me on my butt for over a week. But I'm back! With pictures too. Below you see my 13th Colony Bay, still not finished but it's displayed on a china cabinet that the spousal unit scored for exactly $0.00. Yes, nada, nothing, as in FREE. It's also got a matching table and six chairs that are currently in the garage and various points in the house until we figure out exactly what to do with this stuff. He wasn't thrilled when I told him we really needed a couch more. The response? 'They weren't giving away free couches." But now I have the perfect excuse to start acquiring pieces of Lenox British Colonial Tradewinds china.
Here's a better picture of 13th Colony Bay:

And here's a close-up of part 3:
I am still no where near finished but I am stitching as much as humanly possible. I would really love to have this finished by the end of the month.
Wish I had more exciting news to report but this is it for now.

Mellissa,
I have never seen this design before but it is absolutely lovely. Truly a labor of love. Congrats to your hubby for picking up such a deal!
Love the progress on your colony, but if there is an abundant collection of free furniture as lovely as your cabinet hanging around, I'm relocating to Florida! OMG! You lucky thing!!!!!

I wholeheartedly agree about needing the china, afterall now you have the perfect showcase thanks to hubby.
