~ Dana's Pinkeep - True Joy ~

Hi there! Some people we meet are meant to be with us a lifetime. For me, Dana is one of those people. Although we live on opposite ends of town, we keep a strong sistership which has survived many years, even though we *see* one another very infrequently. She is my sister in every sense, I love her and her family in every sense. I stitched this little hanging ornie/pinkeep for Dana, to symbolize the length and beauty of our enduring sistership. Sorry pic is poor, taken some time ago with old camera. Chart is called Antique Flower (designer unk), DMC floss on fiddlers cloth, hanger is jute, aida back same as front. It's a bit fraktur, a bit Elizabethan, and of course was great fun to stitch. After all, true joy is in the giving, weeeeell~and the stitching:)

Tootles, Sue
