I find that I stitch a lot of patriotic cross stitch and wool applique designs during the summer. It's hard to believe that this summer is coming to a close. School starts on Monday and so I decided that it was time to pack away my patriotic decorations until next summer. But before I did, I thought I would share some of my favorites with you...
This was my finish for this summer - a wool applique kit by Maggie Bonanomi. This piece went on both vacations this summer - what a great souvenir :)
Isn't it interesting? Some pieces you stitch and love forever - the one above is from 1999.
This mat is from the very first class that I took with Maggie Bonanomi many years ago and was my first mat finish.
This piece (or actually three) was stitched on 32 count over one and won a ribbon at the National Counted Cross Stitch Show in Rockome Gardens many years ago.
Another Maggie Bonanomi class - can you tell I'm a fan ;)
Love everyone of them!
ReplyDeleteWow...I'm totally jealous :)
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a wool applique class this fall at the Celebration of Fiber at Sycamore Farm in Terre Haute Indiana. It's a table runner with a big pumpkin and suflowers...I'm TOTALLY excited about it :)
Oh, I love each and every one of them. Your house must look wonderful when you have them displayed. Especially love the applique ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Patti...I just love all of them!!!!
