A Sweet Memory

December 22, 2023 By patgeary

The very first time I saw A Sweet Memory by Silver Creek Samplers, I knew I had to stitch this for my two sons. Even though the youngest is 59 and my oldest would be 62 this year, it brought back memories of drawings on the ceilings using the top bunk of their bed.

I chose a piece of 28ct mushroom lugana to stitch it on and used the called for colors except for the handprint and bear. For those two I used Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe, Havana Brown. This one ended up being my last finish for 2023. I need to measure it and figure out a frame.

I stitched their initials over one. I wanted to add the year they were each born but there was just not enough room. I love how it turned out. Now to find the perfect frame for it.

I ordered the frame from Amazon and it included glass and backing board. I’ll add spacers between the glass and stitched piece.
