Weekly Stitching and Goodies

Welcome to April! The weather here was fantastic over the weekend and I am so ready to plant flowers and decorate up my porch for the spring/summer season.

I am so excited as I stayed up a little too late last night but I have a finish! 272 Words by Primrose Needleworks. I started this piece on October 30, 2016.

I have a second finish this week as well. I did this square as a gift for a friend.

I have to say that my stitch friends are just the best. I got a goodie bag from one of my friends and isn't it fabulous??

My friend had already given me ABC on this set, so she just added to it.

I subscribe to Under the Sea Fabrics Fabric of the Month and she has a wish list option and that is the one I do. I just tell her each month which color I would like. This month I received Georgia Peach and I am considering stitching Villa Mirabilia on it. If you are looking to do a fabric of the month, definitely check out Leslie's site.

Salem Remembered Finished

I put the final stitches in last night and so excited to have a finish. I loved stitching on this piece and as a history lover, it made it even more fun.
I have been thinking of how I want to frame it and would love your ideas. I would like to have it framed in a way to look like it was a banner that was hung on the town square back in the day of this historical event. I would like the ends of the fabric to look burned or worn as I used a variegated thread that gives a faded look to some of the letters and the stars on the piece. A friend also suggested that maybe I could find a frame that looked like a scroll. Please tell me what you think.
