I have a finish! The pattern is called "Spanish Geometric Sampler" and it is by "The Needle's Content". It's hard to tell in the full picture, but it has a lot of purple and green beads (well, not purple and green beads...purple beads AND green beads). It called for two packages of each color....as I was going along, I was REALLY worried I was going to run out of the purple beads. So I called my LNS (which isn't SUPER local - it's about a 30 - 40 minute drive) to see if they had them, and then a friend who lives right near there....she picked them up for me because we were meeting halfway between our houses for dinner that night. When I finished stitching, I had about 50 purple beads left out of the original two packages, so I worried for nothing! LOL
Here are some closeups of the beading....it worked out really well because one of my online stitching groups (the same one who was doign the "blue" theme last month) was doing a purple theme this month. So I worked on the beading all month long, and finished it last night.
If you've made it thru all these pictures - thanks for checking it out!

Very nice, Kathy. I love the colors. Purple and green are my faves.
That is beautiful! Congrats on the finish!!
it is beautiful, great job on your stitching
Yeah, beading is very time consuming isn't it. I recently had some on the whitework sampler. And it's always the pits when you put the bead on and the hole isn't quite big enough to slide over the eye of the needle so you have to find another one (maybe you didn't have that problem, my beads were really small and required a 28 needle)
Fantastic finish! Congrats!
