In as effort to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month last year, Christina,
from Whilst Iris Naps created an adaptation of an English sampler, which she
offered as a free download if you make a donation.
It was the perfect stitch to commemorate my special friend Tracey, who lost her her battle with breast cancer last November, so I made it my August Summer Camp project and last night I put final stitches into her.
I stitched her one over two with the called for threads on 36ct Ballet Slippers from Fox and Rabbit and I worked Tracey’s initials in one of the alphabets in two over two, so that stood out a bit.
How lucky am I to live not 10mins away from Frames of London, who have been looking after my framing needs for more than 40 years.
Happy Stitching!

A bittersweet stitch, I'm sure! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt was, but a lovely way to remember her. I'm also inheriting a beautiful dresser from her that will go into my craft room and display all my stitching, so she never be far from my mind xx
