Oui, French Hen c'est fini, and my TDITM March goa Oui, French Hen c'est fini, and my TDITM March goal is WHIPPED! The colors were once again a struggle. Chocolate had to be applied to the problem more than once. I like how it turned out, but of course I am mentally redoing the embroidery colors as I type this.
