Nicely done.  I like the subdued backer, just enough contrast so as NOT  to become the focus!  Poifect!

Thanks all for the nice comments.  The pattern is by Roy King, Scott Kochendorfer, and Bob Valle (White Tail Designs).  It can be found in CWWC August 2007.  The size is 6 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" tall.  The frame is 10" x 11".  The blade used is FD Polar #1.

Thanks Denny!

I ordered that issue last night and only hope it gets here in time...they state 2 to 4 weeks should be allowed for delivery!
