Better late than never, I say.
This particular page was difficult for many reasons and has gone through a few versions before I settled on filling it to overflow with the stack stitch. I enjoyed working on this page a lot.
Now I'm still behind February (but have the concept and the beads and the fabric ready to go), March and April.
Today's quote comes from Abraham Lincoln: Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.
I was looking for a quote on tardiness and that didn't fit, and then procrastination, and that didn't fit, either and then I realized what a negative light I was putting on my success!
And, in light of today's sad anniversary of the loss of a great man, a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr: Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.

Wow, that's amazing!
Simplicity yields surprising results!
This piece is incredibly amazing! I love the effect of all the stacks! Great job!
I love the stacks also. I want to run my hands over it!
Any, I just love this piece!!!
Don't feel bad -- October eluded me, too, and it is just now coming together for me.

Oh, this is just juicy! I want to touch it and revel in that texture.
very, very cool - like this one LOTS!
Stunning! It never ceases to surprise me how a simple design can look so amazing.
Ditto to all the other comments... especially about running my fingers over and through all those stacks. I want to touch the face too. Awesome piece!!! Love the Lincoln quote too... good that you found this connection to the positive side.
I love this, the face, where you put it and all the stacks. Very cool. I love your quotes too.

Thank you all for your feedback. This piece was a love/hate relationship. October sucked, to be frank, which is why it took so long for me to finish this page.
