My mom started this needlepoint about 25 years
ago,
and decided she hated it,
and put it away still on the frame,
and never worked on it.
I found it when we cleaned
out the house
after my father died.
She still didn't want it, even if I finished it.
So I worked on it during lunch hours,
and finished it on 30 August 2006.
It was a challenge--
some of the canvas had broken
and had to be rewoven.
There wasn't enough blue or cream
to finish the sky and clouds.
New wool didn't match!
I carefully mounted in on sticky board
so more canvas wouldn't tear .
My husband found the frame and cut the mat.

It's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria,
and I visited there when I was a
student in Germany in 1968.
