Gentle Lace

Photoframe from an embroidery hoop

 I was asked if I could find an unusual way of framing this little photograph.  The lady didnt want to put it in a normal picture frame, she wanted something different.

I machine stitched the picture to the gingham

then added the pieces of vintage lace with handstitching after inserting it in the embroidery hoop.

Somethings I'm proud of this year

Learning how to stitch.

Thanks to Karen Ruane 

I love the things I've made.
