I completely forgot about the Stitching Blogger Questions that Lee over at Lakeside Stitcher posts. (Thanks to Anna at Stitch Bitch for the reminder.)
This month’s prompt is:
We like to stitch things for people we love. Show us and tell us about one (or more) of your favorite needlework projects that expresses your love for someone.
As sappy as it sounds, I only stitch for someone else if I love the. (Okay, exchanges are different, but you know what I mean.) And I have stitched a lot of things for a lot of people. I’ve stitched ships for my dad, Santas for my mom, I even stitched a Spitfire for the boy I thought I love (and I did get it back after he cheated on me).
It is difficult for me to say what is my favourite out of all of these projects. Perhaps it is The Wedding, which I’ve stitched twice. The first time (and no picture, sadly) was when my best friend from middle school got married back in 2000 (I think). And I stitched it again in 2005 when my husband (a boy who really did love me, and who I love with all of my heart) and I got married.

There is one other piece that I feel expresses my love for someone:
You Were Hatched by Teresa Wentzler
This is now framed and hanging in the little man’s room. I love him fiercely, and I hope he will always know that.
Needleworker, Knitter, Crocheter, Sewist, Cricuteer, and more!
beautiful work Heather 🙂
That was a great question and a wonderful answer. I agree that those two pieces have very special significance.
Those are beautiful pieces and I loved reading about them. Clearly you now have a man who is worthy of you and a beautiful little boy to share that love with.
I love the TW. Have stitched that one myself, and enjoyed doing it.
