~~~ My Mom's Birthday Gift ~~~
Desinger: Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks
Design: "PEACE" from the Scripture Thread Pack Series
Finished as a Box
Stitched with Crescent Colours as charted
I love it! It's just how I wanted it to turn out, vintage looking, feminine ....just like my Mom ~ *old and female*...LOL! Just kidding.....love you MOM! :) But seriously, as I was stitching this I kept thinking about how I was going to finish it...of course these designs all scream out pinkeeps to me...but I make so many of those because I love them...and then I thought - what about a nice box that my Mom can put jewelry in, remote controls, pills for old age...*geez* sorry....golly, don't know what's getting into me! LOL!
Anyway, It is just how I envisioned it and when I saw this fabric...I about did a back flip - right there in Hobby Lobby...it was perfect - just the right color and feel to it! I hope that my Mom loves it as much as I loved making it for her. Each stitch is a big hug with love from me to her on her birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! You're the best and my most treasured friend :)
