Souvenirs and Remembories*

First, I begin with a photo of my SAL Flea Market Souvenir. I love this and do not want to put it down. I'm stitching with the called-for WDW and GAST, though I did change that little hill under the urn from blue to green. The pattern calls for R&R fabric but it's so hard to find that I am stitching on 30 ct WDW--beige, angel hair and one that is unlabeled.

Lelia went on a little internet scavenger hunt on the internet and found this:

This is the one I stitched in the 70s. You can tell it was the 70s--look at those colors. Now I am going to have to search my parents' house to see if we can find that. It would be so cute on my craft room door!

I took Michelle's advice and looked at Herrschner's to see if they had something my niece might like--because let's face it, at nine, she's too young to appreciate the retro. I found this hip and modern flower by Katherine Shaughnessy, the author of the cool New Crewel:

But I am still bringing over some Tula, because, well, you just have to.

Thanks for all the support as I help to create the next generation of stitchers!
