Dear Daughter by Blackbird Designs

December 31, 2022 By patgeary

Dear Daughter by Blackbird Designs is copyright 2013. After seeing it stitched, I thought about stitching it for my granddaughter with some changes to the chart. I changed the Dear to Grand so it read Granddaughter of mine. I had to move it over a couple of spaces but otherwise if worked perfectly.

I wanted to add her name rather than just her initials so chose to stitch this one on 28ct Monaco so Rebecca would fit if stitched over 1. I also changed the color of the house and instead of the shades of rose for the flowers, used three shades of Anchor purple floss.

Once I finished the stitching, I was lucky enough to catch a sale on frames so chose one I had used in the past, RUSTIC WOOD SANDSTONE PICTURE FRAME.

Now to get it wrapped and in the mail, so she gets it in time for Christmas.
