In pieces

Embroidered pieces for a free-standing firehouse not yet assembled. Fabrics are  red, with black touches, embellished heavily with cream stitching.In fifteen pieces, to be exact!  One of the pictured pieces is actually two identical ones, so that’s why it doesn’t look like fifteen. I counted up how many stitches went into making these pieces, and the total was almost 378,000! I used up an entire roll of water-soluble stabilizer, too. But my Bernina sailed through the work with nary a complaint!

Now that all of the pieces are made, and assuming that I don’t have to remake any if the gremlins don’t come along and hide something from me as I go, I need to put the pieces together to make the building. It will be fiddly work, judging from past experience, so I probably won’t hurry. 😉
