I can't believe the amount of work that went into this picture. When I saw it at the bottom of a Goodwill heap, there was no question in my mind that it was meant to be mine. I love those little golden knots and every single whipstitch on this loosely woven canvas. Unfortunately it isn't framed, but I can fix that, or maybe I'll just tighten it up on a new board as it's gotten a little saggy. I was picturing it hung up in my craft nook, but visitors would have to descend into the basement to admire it. :) And I think this sort of stuff needs to be oohed and ah-ed tout le temps. Perhaps I will incorporate it into my autumnal decorating of the mantle. I confessed to friends over the weekend that I had a whole dresser drawer full of branches, pods and pinecones from last year, so I'm pretty much all set. I hope that came off as normal behaviour.

Yup, sounds like normal behaviour to me! (I like having gum tree nuts in my car for decoration. =>) I'm so glad you've rescued this embroidery. I can't imagine throwing it out!!!! What a beautiful piece of work.
I like the red fluffs.
Those things are incredibly difficult to do neatly. Very nice work in that.
I think that will look great wherever you decide to hang it!
Good save N :-)
I feel fortunate that I've seen it in person - it's very impressive.
