Shondra

To "His" Mother was designed by Gloria & Pat. I did this as a surprise for my new mother-in-law, Jenny Boring. The look on her face was wonderful!

My Mom & I got it framed with glass, since that's what my mother-in-law likes. I don't, because I think it takes away from the beauty of the finished piece. But that's my opinion!

 

Lavender & Lace's Blue Moon Angel was one of my first experiences in dark linen. This is done on 32 count French Blue Linen (another one of my favorite colors!) and finished in 1997. I never found the charm that it called for, so I just got another little moon and attached it to the ribbon in her hand. I coated it with clear nail polish and it has never tarnished. I used Sulky Gold Thread on this design ~ because I'd used it on the others!

 

 

This is an adorable beaded & buttoned kit from Mill Hill. I finished this Noah's Ark for my Mom in 1997 and it now hangs in her Noah's Ark bathroom.

I actually don't know when I stitched this little I Love You. It was done for my Mom back in the 1980s. But for my wedding in 1997, she had a friend insert it into a stained glass box (which is why I can't see the date on it). Her friend designed and made this box for me. It was a very special wedding gift!

 

  Here is the inside of the stained-glass box. The lady put a mirror on the bottom of the box. She also echoed the front of the box by creating and placing a heart mirror on the inside. Have I said how much I love this box?
