Remembering grandma Pearl - post to my diary

I wish I had not waited so long for me to "redo" this pincushion.  I spent some time organizaing my "things" and preparing my stuff for my return to work and low and behold I found grandma Pearl's pincushion! (in pieces)  I always had good intentions to make a new liner.  Well today I did just that!  I'm just sorry that it took me years to get it done and I missed the enjoyment I could have had remembering grandma Pearl!  Hello grandma..:)

Birthday Roses - post to my diary

BIRTHDAY flowers!  These are such pretty roses.  They look so old!  I wish they would stay like this.  Although, I have to say that I'm having pretty good luck with drying roses.  I guess the hell heat here in Texas helps that along!

Chester County Liberty - post to my diary

I wish you could see the detail to this one.  The border is all queen stitch, the houses double cross and grass is long armed stitch.  For such a small sampler it has a huge amount of work!

Display Case - post to my diary

I backed my glass display cabinet with pictures of samplers.  Made torn edges and glue!  It really set off the back of my case for all my needlework smalls.

Secret Garden, Front & Back - post to my diary

Well it's Tuesday.  I missed PT yesterday and really need to go this morning.  I'm just dragging here a bit.  Here is the back of my needle keeper.  I really like the initials. A little modified on the "K" as I needed the height to meet the "B" so I took an "R" and changed it up by adding a few stitches.
