A few days ago, I was going through some boxes looking for some aperture cards for a friend. I did not find them, but I did come across a project my mom had stitched sometime before she died in 1999. The chart with the embellishments was also in the box.
My mom was my stitching buddy. I taught her to cross stitch after I learned, and she loved it as much as I did. I decided to go ahead and add the embellishments and frame this in her memory. The stitched piece fit into a 6×8 frame but had too much space on the sides compared to the top. I added a piece of complementary fabric and rick rack to the side and am happy with the finished piece. It reminds me of her and her love of a hobby we shared. I did flip the apple charm on the pie before adding the glass.
Pat, I love how you finished this Lizzie Kate piece. Well done! We share a similar story as I taught my Mom how to cross stitch after I learned in college. Have a wonderful weekend.
