This was a quick stitch! I started it on Sunday evening and finished it on Monday evening. This will be a gift for a friend whose son is serving in Iraq. I'm planning to get it framed before I give it to her.
Birds of a Feather - Pray for Peace
35 count white linen
Stitched with one strand of floss over two threads
Used recommended overdyed threads (Weeks)
I was surprised to find a package from Lelia in my mailbox the other day! She sent me a lovely piece of cream Belfast linen. Hmmmm, what shall I do with it? :)

I've admired this BoaF design since I first saw it, and I love how you've done it. It is a very thoughtful and loving gift for your friend. I hope her son finds his way home, safely, soon.

a very great stitching piece as well... very thoughtful.
That's a perfect, thoughtful gift for a friend with a son serving in the military. She'll appreciate this gift so much.
Cream Belfast linen is a classic! The possibilities astound the imagination. :D
Very nice! I love that one, it turned out lovely. :D
Pray for Peace is lovely. Nice job.
Would you be interested in an informal SAL - Red Desert Scissor Pocket ... maybe start Oct 10th or 11th or 12th? Myrna & I were thinking to get moving on it.
I sorta thought you & Barbara also had that pattern.
Please advise
I love that BOAF design and you did a beautiful job stitching it.
Beautiful, your friend will treasure I am sure. Can't wait to see what your going to do with the linen. Very sweet of Leila.
This is such a thoughtful gift for your friend. Lovely.
