Two New Designs - Of Generations Past
I finally completed stitching, and finishing, my first two designs that will be offered for sale at my website Of Generations Past . I hope to have the website updated later tonight with all the ordering information. I thought I'd share the pictures with you here at my blog.
This design is perfect for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or just to say "thank you" to a special person. I think it would be perfect tucked in a basket full of cookies or muffins for a sweet gift.
This piece not only represents the great book by Betty Smith (1943), but in my case, I used the date 1878 when my great-grandmother was born in Brooklyn, a very special person on my family tree. I'm including a complete set of numbers so people can personalize their design. I have to thank my online friend Sharon as she and I emailed about being from New York and Brooklyn. Shortly after one of those emails, and after talking to my cousin Cyndie, I was standing in the hot shower (where, for some reason, creative ideas seem to pop into my head), and I could just "see" this design.

These designs are wonderful! You are so creative. I hear you about the shower, that's where I get most of my creative ideas too!
