The Pod People have taken over my body because first a finished project, then a cleaning frenzy, and now yet another finished project. But the comforting news is that all cleaning ceased as I finished this piece:
There are errors galore in this little piece of needlework, all the fault of the stitcher not Blackbird Designs. I would tell you exactly where they are but since I'm the only one that knows where they are, maybe you won't notice them.
This cross stitch chart appeared in one of the BBD quilt books, Summer Weekend. The quote really moved me when I saw it originally in KwiltyKim's webshot's album.
I can't wait to find the perfect frame and hang it in my soon to be painted bedroom right over my work area because the words are true. If you don't begin you can't succeed or fail. Powerful words they are, at least to me.

I love it Melissa! Congrats on another finish and congrats on getting your cleaning and rearranging done too. You've really been on a roll lately. YGG
I'm also happy that I have that BBD quilt book in my quilting stash... and I just may have to get it out and stitch up this design with the wonderful verse.
That's great! I love the verse, saying whatever.
This is a wonderful piece! Love it!
That is a beautiful finish, Melissa. Truer words....
I agree those are very powerful words. Your design of them looks just great to me.
I love that! Now, off to scour eBay for that pattern book....
Beautiful (and inspiring) finish!
It's beautiful, Melissa! I love the saying. It's so true.
Very pretty! Congrats on the finish.
Very lovely. Don't worry about the mistakes. I'm sure no one can see them. and that is what makes it unique. :)
Congrats on your successful weekend - proving the verse right. It is a sweet design - wonder if it's still aroung?
