Two minute smyrnas.

Seven hours and four dvd's later and I have finally finished one of the smyrna bands on Blessings.  Helmut Lotti, Russell Watson and Andre Rieu all kept me company as I plowed through this row and I was so excited when I finished it until I remembered that I still have another row the same to do.  I must be the slowest stitcher around - 240 smyrnas !!! nearly two minutes to stitch each smyrna - seems incredible - maybe I should get some faster music for the next row.  I have actually changed this row - it should have been done with two colours and that would have meant 480 smyrnas!!  Off to tackle the next 240.

Can't wait what see what you have come up with though. Whatever it is I am sure it will be beautiful.
