In keeping with my squirrelly posts this week, here is a sampler my mom stitched way back in the early 1970s. Can you see that era's influence with the mushrooms and colors? It's fairly large, about 16 x 20 inches. Originally in a narrow gold frame that was pretty nice, the joints were separating when it came into my hands in the 1990s. I had it reframed-- when that service was still affordable.
So I know a viewer should be focusing on the verse-- and I sometimes do-- but I have to admit, my favorite part is the squirrel.
Again this Saturday, I am linking to
Mockingbird Hill Cottage's "A Favorite Thing." Pretty fun to explore new blogs!
Pop over enjoy!
This is so lovely! And, yes, that squirrel would probably my favorite, as well!
