1 year and 34,485 stitches later, I have completed Mary Beth's needlepoint name! I hope she cherishes it always and has it at the top of her list of what to run out of a burning building with.
There were many times during this year that I wished I had named my daughter, Jo.

Ha! I just wanted to give it to her before her 16th birthday party! ;)
That is beautiful!! Wish I had your talent. I am sure she will treasure it forever;-)
It's beautiful, Elizabeth!!! I didn't know you did needlework! Me too! :) We need to sit around like little old ladies and sew. I just finished Clark's stocking and was thrilled to hang it on the mantle today!
This is beautiful! She will definitely cherish it!
Where did you get the template? It is so pretty!
Karen, mom had xeroxed off the letters used to make my name, Lauren's, and my two cousins' names. She was able to copy those by looking at the xeroxed letters. The letters that weren't covered, she free handed. Love my mama!
that is so amazing! Nice work!
Yes, Katy, I love doing lots of old lady stuff....working in the garden, knitting, sewing, and driving slowly in Dallas traffic.
The needlepoint is beautiful, Elizabeth! I am very impressed :) I'm sure Mary Beth will treasure it for many years to come. Hope the Barnhills have a wonderful Christmas!
oh, that's so funny you mentioned grabbing it in a fire...back during my freshman year of college (10 years ago!) I started on a cross stitch for my hubby (we were just dating at the time) and I realized I completely got in over my head with it...it's five ships and the work in each one takes YEARS!! I still haven't finished it, but I told Rob that if it ever is finished that better be the first thing he grabs in a fire! LOL!
