I've had a chance to get some projects framed. They've been hung too after a couple of weeks of hanging out in my sewing room. First up is this Brenda Keyes piece that was a SAL with my EGA chapter. You can find my details on this sampler HERE. It's called Country House sampler and I fell I love with it when Tanya from The Scarlet House posted her version on FB. It was in a grouping of sampler pics and she graciously gave me the information. I personalized this one with my name which is why you see the black blob.
This one is A Pennsylvania Alphabet by the Goode Huswife. This is not one that Anne has reprinted as yet and is rather hard to find. Thanks to a generous friend who lent me her copy! You can find my details on this project HERE. I did change the thread colors. This project is special in that it saved my sanity when my dad fell and had surgery/was in rehab. Every stitch was stitched at his hospital bedside or with my mom who has dementia. It was a long and stressful 2 months but I was blessed to spend time with them and help take care of them. Do you have any projects that take you back to a specific time in your life or to a certain event?
The close ups of the frames indicate a good dusting is needed! If I do that and retake the pictures, this blog post would never get made. Ever feel that way yourself?
We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope you did too! May all your stitches be happy ones!
