My Favorite


This stitchery is my favorite one I have ever done, for SO many reasons. My husband's parents served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Atlanta, Georgia. While they were gone my husband was working for an airline, so we had the opportunity to fly down to Georgia and spend a few days with them. We had lots of fun, and I LOVED seeing all the old beautiful homes in the south. They were scheduled to come home right around Christmas, and I had found the pattern for this stitchery and new it just had to be their Christmas present that year. This one was so much fun to do! It was nice and big, which I love to do a BIG stitchery. It had such a mix of detail, background, simple stitches, blended colors, and intricate back-stitching. It had a little bit of everything, which is why I loved doing it so much! Now, everytime I walk by it hanging in their home, I remember how much fun I had doing it, and how much fun we had together in Atlanta.
