Antique Adaptation

July 7, 2013

Still needs binding, pressing and a little antiquing, but overall I'm happy with it.

It's going to be another hot day here in Pennsylvania!!
 Hoping to find some quiet time to stitch.

Have a great day!!
xoxo Louise

      I spray with my mix of walnut crystals and water. I store the bottle in the refrigerator so it lasts longer.
      Thank you all for leaving such nice comments.

    Your finish is GORGEOUS Louise! A wee bit of the artist...past and present...tucked into every wooly loop.
    Now you must tell us...where are you going to display such a beauty? I feel certain that wherever it may be, you shall smile each and every time you pass by!
    Enjoy your day ...
    Warmly,
    Judy
