Happy Mother's Day

Remember when I posted about my new start for my mom :-)????  I am happy to say I have finished stitching her, the frame is ordered and I will give her to my mom today.  I decided to stitch my great-grandmother's name and the year she was born.

Blackbird Designs Eveline Cunningham, stitched as charted on mystery R&R Linen


I have several blog posts planned for the next couple weeks, my first attempt at framing my own pieces, thank goodness Natalia is a patient teacher :-), my current projects, plans for the summer and fall but those will have to wait for another day!!!!  I hope you all have a happy mother's day with at least a little stitching time.  We are blessed to have my mom and dad living close.  I will make dinner today for my parents, children and my DIL's mother.  My DH owes me a dinner out, LOL.  


Finally in honor of mother's day I thought I would share a favorite photo of my mom with me, I am the oldest, and my sister :-).






Happy Stitches!!!!!
Katrina
