Completed CROSS STITCH
FRIENDSHIP IS A SHELTERING TREE
BUCILLA 1998 #42078
A truly beautiful design and my mother’s skill just amazes me, I am grateful for the few I kept for myself.  Top and bottom borders of acorns, stride borders are all types of tree leaves.  My mother signed at the bottom with the year ‘99. Stitched area is 10 7/8” x 14”.   Fabric area is 14 5/8” x 19 1/4”.
We will be listing many completed cross stitch embroidery pieces over the next several weeks.  These were done by my mother over the past 60+ years.  It was one of her favorite hobbies and she was still making them until last year when her health forbade it.  We came across over 100 pieces, stored in a few different tubs and some that were framed.  Although we selected favorites for her daughters and granddaughters, there are plenty to share with you.  Some are signed, some are not.  She used kits as well as patterns out of books. Some she my have purchased while living in Gettysburg.  I will list the sizes, etc, but I am clearly not an expert, so if you have any questions, please ask.  Thank you for looking.
