My First Framing

I´ve framed quite a few needlework objects, but I know my limits ... My Toccata no. 1 was framed by a master in Purmerend (or Hoorn, we keep forgetting...). It just looks great! M. and I made it both, though M. finished it a bit earlier. It´s made with all sorts of floss, cotton, wool, linen, silk. The scary part was we had to cut some of the linen threads and make holes...

Baby Samplers

G: Our collection of babysamplers! The first, and loveliest is this one, made by M. for her godchild. I love the one over one babyface and of course the frame with the scotch bright (?) touch.

The second is my 2006 summer holiday project. I worked on it for two weeks in our cottage in Zeeland. Had to remove the hands of the clock because I couldn´t remember the birth time of my own daughter. Cute detail is the little bunny charm.

And last but not least, my 2007 summer holiday project. The baby sampler for my little niece. It´s called Noah´s Ark and a pattern of Prairie Schooler. I bought it months ago, and then my niece was born and her bedroom was decorated in the Noah´s Ark colours by my sister... It was a match.
