The Cow Jumped Over the Moon!

Posted on February 5, 2016 by carolkingbarrow

For the stitch retreat before Seminar, I started a nightlight for my cousin's first grandchild expected in January 2016. Well, the little girl arrived January 25 so …. The pressure was on to finish the project. The stitching was finished so I had to tackle turning the canvas into a shade.

The canvas was sold as a package with the light so I had the major parts. I had a consult with a kind and generous expert (Sue C.) and some input from the internet – what did we ever do before?

Here is the finished nightlight which I will send to the new parents. Hope they like it.

Great job! I can’t imagine that the new parents will not love this thoughtful and heartwarming present.

  Thanks, Diane. I did have to be patient with attaching the canvas and trim but would do another one!
