It’s beautiful. I’ve always preferred hand crafted items for my home - instead of store purchased. I hope the needlework that I am doing today will become the heirlooms of tomorrow…

What an amazing heritage…

I have a quilt and some doilies that my great grandmother made and they are very special to me.

It is a beautiful piece. I like needlework. I love to see old works. Just think, her stiching it so long ago, and it still being with your family. I never thought about it before that when I did a project it might be around for many years.

Jessica- I agree with you- the books are usually better than the movies that are made from them.

Jen- I like the frame too!

Margaret- I’d love to take a look at your dad’s needlepoint. That is a strange item for our families to have in common. If it wasn’t for blogging we would never know.

My Dad has one very similar from someone in our family= same shape, flora, dark background. How strange. Must have been the fashion back then.
I like the frame too. Very pretty.

Handcrafted and beautiful! The way it’s framed really set it off.
I wonder how many hours are put into that.

It’s beautiful.. I love heirlooms like that.

And yes I did see the movie “Into the Wild”. It was not near as good as the book. But that’s what usually happens when they try to make a movie out of a good book.
