Still here

No, haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, at least not yet. Have just been super busy with class and other projects. Attended a wedding last weekend on the other side of the province which took a lot of time. I have been stitching a bit, but on exchange pieces so nothing to show. But I'm all done my exchange committments now until September, which will hopefully give me a bit of a break for other things. I wanted to finish my boat for my aunt, not sure if that will happen or not, as my deadline is the end of July. I also have Veronica's RR to stitch my August 15. We are leaving on vacation of Friday though, so it will have to wait until after, as I wouldn't want to cart it around all over and risk having anything happen. So with my class finishing soon (in final projects up to my ears) and all the vacation prep going on its been busy, and will continue to be so. I'll definitely be needing my break!

thanks to all for the recent comments. Joy, after ironing the piece, I cut 4 squares all around my border. I then take the tweezers and fray 2 squares on each side. I guess you could change the ratios for different sized pieces, but so far that's worked for me. I'm now using double-sided tape to make sure I get adhesive right to the edge of the the fabric so I know it won't fray any more.
