I can't think of a more appropriate stitching project for our Memorial Day weekend. I started on this with my Bestie, Leslie Jackson, on November 17, 2018. I am using all the called for floss with one substitution with the beads. It is being stitched on the Declaration of Independence written by my Uncle Thomas Jefferson, yes I am descended from greatness! I am related to the Adams also, they are cousins, John, Samuel and John Quincy. Henry Adams, their grandfather is my 13th great grandfather thru his son Peter. I am so proud of my heritage. Anyway here is a picture of my beginning on May 26th.
Here is a picture of my ending on May 26th, 2019. On the left I began filling in more of the flag and top left I began her elbow in over one. The red gridding thread is the center of the whole project, horizontal and vertical. I have extended the flag a bit over the horizontal line.
Progress is slow but I am not in this for speed but for joy and peace in my life. Stitching is my mantra! God Bless you and God Bless America!
