That is very well done and you should be proud of how it came out!

Hopefully I will be able to take pictures after I wash this, but right now I am not so confident it will stay together.

Here is the front done:

Here is the back:

Here is one of the side:

Here is the other side:

And of course the Hamish:

Keith,

I have been following your progress in this thread with interest, not because I intend following your example (I know that is WAY beyond me) but because I admire your talent. However, I am intrigued to understand the shaping of the yellow 'flashes'. Is there a particular reason for them to be shaped in that curved manner?

I know nothing about American sport, and very little about British sport, so no doubt I am missing something obvious to every sport-loving American, but perhaps you would kindly put me out of my misery!!

Looks great ,As a general rule I have found that hand sewing stands up better than alot of machine sewing.

How many hours do you think you have in it? More than a couple, I'll bet.

I would say conservativly, 15-18 hours, since I can work on lunch everyday that helped. I started Saturday, and finished Thursday.

Dia dhuit, mo chara,

That looks really good. I couldn't help but notice the wide variety of Irish alcohol in the background too!

My wife and I have two Christmas trees, I have never been a big fan of decorating, but she said that she would let me decorate my tree however I want, so the tree has Guinness, Smithwick's and Harp bottles as ornaments. I thought she would be upset, but when her laughter subsided, she thought it was pretty cool, and definatly my tree.

My eyesight must be failing. I didn't even notice the bottles in the tree until I looked again! I only noticed the boxes! Now that I look closely I believe I also spy Labatt Blue, yes? Alas, I keep away from John Labatt now; too many memories of high school keg parties!
