October FFO Gallery

We were on fall break this past week* so I didn’t have a lot of time to finish things up, so I tried to get most of it done before we left. I also didn’t have too much recently stitched to FFO anyway. I made the Pensee Sauvage by Samplers Not Forgotten into a pillow per the kit instructions. Oh […]

October: First I framed Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. Cynthia made it easy on us by planning this piece […]
