I had grand plans for this moon as being part of the “deadline piece” but it just *doesn’t* fit with the whole! It’s too heavy and powerful juxtaposed with the more delicate stitching on the main piece. I’ve set it aside temporarily, and it will become something else when the one i’m working on is done!
My stitchin’ fingers hurt like hell too, a lot of manipulation work here, and pulling loaded needles through the mass was cursey to say the least 🙂
Nope. At least i revived some old skills and ideas though!
albedo too 
Hi Arlee, have you tried the tips cut off old rubber gloves for pulling the needle through thick fabrics, much easier on the fingers and they usually fit the fingers snuggly.
