I started on the bottom portion today. I used Red Currant for the vase and Wild Berries and WDW Red Pear (thanks for the idea Katrina) for the flowers. I also used Wild Berries for the words and Red Pear for the heart.
Thank you to everyone for your very kind comments on Ida Mae. A couple people commented that she reminded them of their grandma or aunt. She reminded me of my grandma. Her name was Edna Mae. I think that's one of the main reasons I had to stitch her! :)
P.S. This is the Day can be found in the Jan/Feb 2009 Just Cross Stitch

ReplyDeleteI have a question about American Frame. When you order, do you give them the exact size of the stitched piece and they account for a margin around the outside, or do you calculate the margin into the size you give them?
WOw you've really made some awesome progress on this one. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!
