It wasn't signed or dated. I wish it was. I might have tried to find the
owner. This is another example why stitched items should not be
gifts.Weather you like her designs or not this one has 3 packages of bead
work 14 or 16 ct blue Aida.
It washed up great. I don't know how I am going to frame it but it will be
better than what it was. I don't know what to do with it. I never buy other
peoples work but I felt it really need. It was close to the trash bin.

I know my dad complained about the color of tractor I used. John Deere green
not Oliver tractor green. Would not read it or hang it until he saw the next
project was a plain piece of fabric. The next day it was up and never moved

I am working on a TW and Mirabilia is not for a beginner. I should have
someone post it on facebook just to see if I could find the owner. Has to be
someone from the church I bought it from or who received it. Maybe I can
return it

I found a beautifully stitched Santa I swear was a Miriblla design but

not find a picture of it at a church sale. I can not believe someone
stitched and beaded such a beautiful picture only to double side tape it
and
use cardboard box for a mat and an ugly frame. I know whoever did the
piece
spent plenty on beads and other materials

I know I could never stitch such a thing or if I tried it would have
taken
years its is huge. How could something be framed so poorly and end up in
a
church sale? I bought it for 2.00.

It almost made me cry that something so wonderfully stitched ended up
framed so bad and discarded. The craftsmanship is remarkable. I am going
to
wash it and see what I can do for it. I can not afford to have it framed
but
can have it laced and see if Joannes have a frame it might fit.
Some people just don't understand what it takes to make a project and it
must have been a gift for someone. I don't know what I am going to do
with
it but what I do know is Santa needs saved.
