I was looking for this piece I stitched up and didn’t realize it was 17 years ago that I completed it. 2003! Annnnddd it’s still not framed. I love it so much and I think this year might be the one to display it in the house.
this is lovely. Nice sentiment. You should definitely display it!

Beautiful job.
I recently found one I finished in the mid 90s that had been framed and then removed. Now I’m trying to decide if I should frame it again or not. It’s about babies, which I no longer have, but I can’t seem to part with it.

Whoa, not only is that gorgeous, it is also very fitting for my dear sweet @kittykill. You couldn’t have chosen something better, this is in fact what you do with just a humble needle and string. You stitch love and beauty into the world .

I love this piece so much! I remember seeing it before, but I know we hadn’t yet met in 2003. I can see this in a red/black/white tea cabinet display should you ever want to go that route for a month!

I’m in love with this quote! Is it attributed to someone? I did a half hearted Google search with no luck.
Did you make up the pattern or is it by someone? It’s beautiful! You did a lovely job!

The pattern is from Heartstring Samplery. It is an older pattern but you can find much of her stuff on 123 Stitch.

I believe the pattern is called My Shadow, but I’m not sure. The original pattern the heart was white, but I added the red. I wish I could remember where she said she got the saying from.
I get sentimental about pieces, too. Finding another way to display it/change it up can refresh it a bit. Maybe you can make it into a pillow or sew it on a stuffed animal (depending on the size).
