Jenny Bean For the Parlor

I posted progress photos of this piece last year, but never shared a picture of the finish. I’m really proud of this piece. I loved stitching it. There were eight parts, stitched on 36ct Wren with the called for Sampler Threads. I may have occasionally substituted a DMC thread or two if the color of the overdyed thread didn’t look quite right.

Now to decide how to finish it. I don’t think I am going to frame it. I’m thinking about finishing the edges and rolling it around a spool. It will be portable and a talking piece!


Sandra - regarding your comment on the previous post, you are correct! Juniper has a stitched backside! 

Thank you to everyone who still reads this old blog.

I'm thrilled that you're blogging again! There aren't many of us left, but I enjoy reading blogs more than the quick instagram or FB posts.
