Pleasant Surprise #2

 

I stitched this Prairie Schooler piece in 2009...  

I got it framed!

Design - "R is for Rabbit" 
Designer - The Prairie Schooler
Fabric - 32 count Lambswool linen
Fibers - DMC
Started - 19 May 2009
Completed - 9 June 2009
Framed - August 2011

I'm really pleased with the framing job.  It's stretched nice and tight and true.  And the frame - what a great match with the dark green of the cabbages! 

Pleasant Surprise #2

On Tuesday 4/23 I saw the FOS male Black-headed Grosbeak.

Their lovely song is part of my spring / summer morning symphony.

This bird acted as though it had literally finished its migration at my house.

It sat in the same place quietly eating for well over 30 minutes.

No singing then, though later in the afternoon I did hear bird song.

Your frame is perfect for your finish. The birds are so beautiful and I enjoy your nature photos as well as your stitching.
