Look what I found packed away in a box. My eldest DD stitched 5 blocks for me as a Christmas gift but ran out of time to finish the outline and add the decorative beads. I told her that I would finish them for her. They must be at least 12 to 15 years old, or maybe older and they mean a lot as she put a lot of time into stitching them. I think I will either frame them or make a quilted wall hanging.
I'm excited to have found them again as they deserve to be displayed and enjoyed rather than be stored in a box. I'm going to really enjoy finishing them off and maybe stitching the remaining blocks too as they are a set of 12. They are stitched on 18 count Aida so fairly delicate and the beading adds a nice touch.
This block is finished and I think I must have stitched the outer frame and added beads 7 or 8 years ago. I'm sure that blogging my weekly progress will keep me motivated and get them finished.
Hugs, Jan Mac
