I've done a few pieces and to start off, this one is of the hotel at Lake Louise. When we drove to the west coast of Canada many years ago, I so wanted to drive to Lake Louise. Instead, we went to Banff and were equally awed with our visit there. This piece has shown its' age and I will need to replace the mat.
This piece never got framed. The mountains and the lake and the colours just called my name. 
This was a kit that my Mom bought for me just after DH and I were married. This was a labour of love. The mountains and the church just speak to me. I think the setting of this scene is from Austria and that is where some of my ancestors came from.
I did a few tissue holder boxes....which we still use today.
There are 2 UFO's that need to be finished. This one of iris flowers is really hard on my eyes. The canvas is single strand and that is the reason for me shelving it (over 25 yrs. now). My other UFO is a kit that I bought in England ... but I can't find it .... will have to go on a hunt for it.
My Mom made this one of an English cottage garden. She did many needlepoint pieces and I'm lucky to have two from her.
... and she made this one of blue flowers and gave it to me a few years ago for Christmas.
She has 2 UFO's that I will finish for her.
So, now you have seen another side of me other than quilting.Go on over to Chookyblue's post for a list of people that are participating this weekend and enjoy!
Have a great day!
beautiful work by you and your mum........hope you make a little progress often with the UFO's.......
ReplyDeleteThose blue flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAren't they all so pretty - the blue flowers are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty needlepoint by both you and your Mom. I love the blue flowers! I have some pieces that are hiding in my closets somewhere, for at least as long as yours. Why do folks not do needlepoint any more?
