Also, if anyone does some stitching, and wants a "Welcome Friends" sign, here is one I created from scratch. The "dots" indicate either beads or french knots, whichever you prefer, and they should be at corners in the letters (know what I mean?). Play with the colors, see what you like :)

This one is almost entirely done in backstitching. I have a whole book of horse patterns and hope to do all of them at some point. :)

This was done for the sister of my college roommate. Her family kind of "adopted" me, and remain special to me, even if I don't see them often.

I did this for one of my nieces. :) I had a blast stitching it, and I'm sure she'll love it!

2 small (4x6) patterns I did for one of my brothers for Christmas 2001. He's a music teacher, so these are perfect for him. There are 4 more in the series, so he'll be getting the rest later. :) My husband did the framing for me, and I'm sure saved us a bundle!

Something I did for my mom. She picked the pattern out a couple years ago, and I finally got around to doing it. :) Hubby framed this one as well, but the size is too large to show it all. He's a great guy! :)
