Hi there. I usually am on the mosaic forum but thought I'd peek over here and see what you guys are up to:)

Here is a project I finished in 1994. It was born out of pure - plain boredom!! My husband and I were stationed over seas with the Army and I didn't have anything to keep me artistically entertained so I bought some backing and some embroidery thread and just began....didn't know what I was doing and if you look closely you can see sometimes I went the wrong way with the thread - but 9 years later...TADA!!

Lessons learned....ALWAYS do this type needle work in a "ring" (ya know those things that hold your work stiff). I paid a lady $80 to stretch and starch this baby into shape and boy did it take here a long time and a lot of stretching.

do and learn:)
