While in Oregon, I went to a thrift shop and found this darling cross-stitched picture all finished for me - and I only paid 50 cents for it. I just need to either frame it or make it into a quilted wall hanging (I'll do this if I have some blue that will look good with it). That is my kind of deal!
I finished this stitchery just after we got home and DH framed it for me. The pattern is a freeby from Susan's blog. I changed it a little and colored in the bird, sheep's head and ears instead of using a satin stitch.
Today I'm sending 3 sets of blocks to my block swap partners. 
Gotta get my salad ready for tonight's quilt guild salad supper. Try to keep cool!
I love the flag embroidery. And your swap blocks look so bright and cheerful. Enjoy quilt guild tonight!
ReplyDelete50 cents is a very good buy on the cross stitch. It looks like it was very well done. Good eye for a good buy.
ReplyDeleteThe flag embroidery is fantastic, love the primative look. The swap blocks are beautiful, they just keep getting better! The Home Sweet Home cross stitch is so pretty, too. Great find!
