Keepsake...

I received an email today with a finish of our pattern "LOVE-FILLED HEART" from customer, Bonnie. Bonnie worked her piece on a 40 count linen, as instructed, only using a more creamy colored linen. She then changed out the color of the urn and date for a better contrast to her lighter colored linen of choice. The photo she chose to tuck into her heart pocket is of her mother when she was 4 years old. The date she changed to the birth year of her mother...
what a lovely keepsake Bonnie has created. Thanks for sharing!
A nice little pin keep to keep at Bonnies side when stitching. My mother taught me how to stitch as a young girl & I'm sure tis the same for most anyone who has this stitching passion...so the photo of her mother seems so appropriate for this piece!


It's another cold day here. We've had single digits daytime temps for most of the week & minus digits overnight...anything in double digits is going to feel like a heat wave. It is this part of the winter that toughens us!
I have 3 different projects in the works, each is calling and I don't know which to do first...
With thy Needle & Thread,
Brenda

Brenda,
What a great tribute to Bonnie's mom and to you for designing this pattern. I love what Bonnie did with the colors too.

Stay warm and keep on working on those projects. What else can you do on days like this? pj
