I bought this canvas by Diane Ulmer Pedersen from Painted Pony Needlepoint Designs at a trunk show that The Needle Works had. I had been wanting it forever and decided to buy it for my Mother's Day present to me. I ordered the stitch guide and threads from Amy Bunger at amybunger.com and had it all packed and ready to present to myself on the big day.
Change of plans. The pandemic came and I thought to help in the teeny tiniest way by blogging again to distract us all from our worries. I've been stitching away on my giant cross stitch sampler but somehow that is not so interesting to post. Anyway, here we go:

More to follow tomorrow! Happy Sheltering in Place! Love you all!
I'm so glad you are back to blogging. I have always loved your blog. I guess now you'll have to choose a new Mother's Day gift to yourself. 😉

ReplyDeleteThanks! I will try to post more often. Lots of stitching time these days. Keep in touch!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Just found you through Pinterest and am so glad I did! This is a beautiful piece. I can’t seem to stitch anything larger than ornaments with my attention span, so this lovely project really is impressive to me! Can’t wait to follow along. All the best to you. �� Regina
