Michelle is here in Philadelphia, and I'm afraid I hounded her until she agreed to meet.
Jenna, Michelle, and I and Terry, Eric, and the dude (who does have a name) went to
Jones. I made little gifts for them because, you know, I only put 10,000 things on my to-do list for August--I've got all the time in the world! But they were fun--good stitching for the commute.

Graziano linen cream/natural
All sorts of fiber substitutions
JABC buttons
Finishing: ladder stitched edges, "stuffed" with foam core board, organza ribbon hanger (unfortunately it shows through the back I should have put batting on the foam core board, but you know, the craft room is in boxes in the basement).
How perfect is that fabric? I am so impressed with myself! (With the match, the finishing leaves something to be desired. There's too much white, and I wish I had time to make a nice blue cord. It really needed blue cord.)
Treasured Trio I
Sweetheart Tree
Unknown white evenweave.
Called for fibers.
Fabulous finishing fabric found at Joann's; white cord also purchased.
Finished as flat fold.
Edited to add: Duh, I had fun! It was really nice to meet Michelle and Eric and to see Jenna and Terry again. Jenna, we are totally taking you up on the offer!
Quick post. Sunday's project. Love the backing fabric on this one (in foreground). Lee brought me this fabric when she came to stitch at my house with other people, back when I did that sort of thing. I told you to "look for it in the near future," by which, I apparently meant "seven years hence."
