I tucked three more finishes under my stitching belt over the last couple weeks.
I know I said I was done doing Valentine stitching but couldn't resist this one after I saw the letters in an antique sampler.

Stitched on an 18ct. evenweave using DMC 4210 in floss and #5 Pearle Cotton. Backed & bordered with a burgundy cotton fabric.
I finally finished off another piece I stitched last year.
For St. Patrick's Day.
I just had to do something for this holiday since my heritage is Irish from my daddy's side.
