I just remembered yesterday that I promised to take a picture of my aunt's 'Welcome' sign in my grandmother's foyer! I'm so forgetful sometimes O_o"
So pretty!!
My aunt cross stitched this welcome sign in the 1980s, possibly earlier. I quite like it, especially the fabric border! My modern version of a welcome sign is Bienvenue and the French bunnies :) I haven't decided how to frame my stitched piece yet :*(
Who would have thought that as a child I would wander pass the welcome sign for years and later take up cross stitching as an adult?!?!
In other news, I went by our local Fresh Market and instantly met a temptation in the form of gingerbread goodness!!
They were right by the checkout lanes too!!!
These yummy chocolate covered gingerbread cookies come out during the fall....and I can never resist them!! (Sigh)
Happy stitching everyone! Hopefully I can get my Eau block finished on the Elements sampler and have some pics tomorrow :)
The welcome sign is not stitched on fabric, but rather basket material. Talk about sore fingers. I just needed to make something that matched the colors of the day-earthtones. Okay share the cookies Bunny! Love ya!
