Christmas Wreath

This is the second piece that was just recently finished by Summer Truswell. This is #163, Winter Wreath. It's finished so that it can be hung on the wall, the back is flat and there is a cord that is hidden. This could also be used as a centerpiece with a candle and greenery set in the center. Of course, I'd put that candle inside a large hurricane glass. I wouldn't want wax dripping on my needlepoint. I have two other wreaths in my line, one for spring #121 and #122 is the summer one. I'm still working on the spring wreath, it has bunnies and daylillies around it. The summer wreath features hibiscus and hummingbirds.

One Day Spring, The Next Day Christmas

Although we had another beautiful spring day, I found Christmas in my mailbox. At long last my Christmas Wreath was home. For a before view see #164 Winter Wreath on my website.

Janet Perry of Napa Needlepoint stitched this piece for me. We went back and forth several times trying to find just the right shades of red, green and gold threads to use. After seeing the stitched piece I can say that it all turned out perfectly. A big thanks to Janet for all the hours she spent stitching. The next step is to have it finished. Just this afternoon I was talking with Summer Truswell about my ideas for finishing. I wish I could say that I've been as industrious with the wreath I'm stitching. I'm working, and have been for a while, on the wreath that is featured on the first page of my websites new flip book. That wreath, #121, Spring Wreath features two white bunnies with pink daylillies and other greenery. It will be beautiful whenever I get it finished, all I need is a clone.
