Description I began this project in 2006, when I learned that I was pregnant for my son. I diligently worked on it until shortly after his birth. Sadly, after my son was diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation, I put this piece to rest, in April of 2007.

I picked it up again in 2011, after having lost my job as a Preschool Teacher, in a special education school. After a nearly four year hiatus, this work was completed in May of 2011. The pattern is discontinued and very hard to find. I happened to luck out at a yard sale, after years of lusting after its greatness!

The colors on this are even more fabulous than the picture lets on. As big as this project was, I had a blast making it.

It now hangs in my son's room.

I stitched this years ago for my step-grandson, and didn't take any pictures.  It was a big task, but so beautiful when finished.  I'd love to do it again!

I found this site looking for the pattern for Wild Ones Alphabet. Do you still have the chart? Is there any way I can get it?

It's been out of print for years! I see auctions for it on ebay, from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled. I happened to get lucky at a garage sale, but gave it away when I was done.

Thank you! I'm a serial starter, so I while I begin with gusto, I always run out of steam at the end! Putting in those last few stitches is always such hard work!

I know the feeling - as does my box if unfinished objects...

(and that's why I tend to do smaller projects nowadays)
