Remember This?
March 9, 2012 
That was almost 2 months ago. But my spunky little 8 year old didn't give up on it. I think her interest was rekindled when I told her I'd like to sew it up into a wallhanging ... this mama's been around the block a few times now ... ;)
And this little issue about running out of room that was making her so frustrated?
Here is how we solved it.
Somehow the yellow floss she started with went missing so we color-matched as best we could. We've decided it's not at all noticeable.
The little angel thought she'd "trim" the top edge for me ...
... I'll make it work somehow! LOL!
Here are the fabrics "we" chose. She picked the yellow polka dots "... 'cause they're so fun!"
Guess what I'll be doing this weekend!
(Right now I'm SO wishing I had the same kind of magic one of my all time favorite bloggers has ...)

Tell your little sweetheart she did a great job! And let's be honest: we all trim the edge sometimes;-) And Amy is great!

Your daughter did beautiful work! I love the fabrics that you guys chose to go with the piece - I agree that the yellow polka dots look like a fun fabric. Don't forget to show us the finished work.
Her stitching is wonderful - I can't wait to see it made up! Good luck!
So precious! She did such a great job with her stitching and picking out fabrics! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! :)
Ohhh! We might have another stitcher in our midst!!! It is beautiful and it will fun to discuss why she said K and J instead of mom and dad! She will laugh at that when she's 30! ;p
Lovely work. ;p
I just L.O.V.E. this! Way to go little one! I can't wait to see the finished project!!! I found you through Simplify and I found nanaCompany through your blog - all wonderful and you my dear do have the magic, too! :o) I dip in for my daily dose of inspiration and you never disappoint! I love how your daughter trimmed up the top for you, too! :O)
What a treasure! Your little angel did a wonderful job, in spite of the setbacks!
Your daughter's work is beautiful. :o) What a special creation to be loved!! I can't wait to see it all finished. :o) Have a nice week. Sincerely, Trish
