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.

The finishing is outstanding. You did a great job on the whole piece. What a fabulous gift.
Thanks, Diane. I did have to be patient with attaching the canvas and trim but would do another one!
