Last night Britta spurred me on (she gave me the kit in 2008!!) to finish this Acorn by "With Thy Needle & Thread". I finished the stitching last autumn 2009 and only the finishing needed to be done, I admit to being a bit slow in finishing, but here it is. Stitched on 22 ct Fine?? Ariosa over 1.
It is quite large and after spraying it with Extremely Distressed it looked so much nicer than white (my dh thought it was scorched on the range when it lay there to dry LOL)
The card is by Textile Heritage and made that a long time ago, the silver acorns & squirrel were gathered by me.
The background sampler fabric is by Windham Fabrics: "Williamsburg presents the Sampler Collection".
Backing fabric is Civil War c 1860 by Nancy Gere

What a beautiful piece! Lovely finish!
Bertie, wow! Good for Britta for urging you on, that acorn is just gorgeous. Perfect accent fabric for the cap of it, and the card is beautiful, too. Love that fabric behind it! I'll have to look for that series.
Bertie, what a wonderful finish! I just love this little piece. And your fabric is amazing.
I am definitely going to have to stich this one up!
Bertie - what a fantastic finish. I'm glad that you have a little prodding from Britta to finish it. I think the fabric you added for the backing is just perfect. And I'll have to make note of the fabric it's sitting on - I love sampler fabric!
Bertie, mooi zeg. Is er iets wat jij niet kunt? Zo perfect!
What a lovely finish!
Your acorn is lovely! I'm so happy that Britta spurred you on.
What a wonderful finish, Bertie. I, like everyone else, love the backing fabric you chose as well as the fabric it's sitting on! Great job!!!
That is a very cute finish!
Absolutely beautiful Bertie, and gorgeous fabric for the backing.
Beautiful finish!
Gorgeous Finish Bertie. I love the hornbooks too. Heck I love everything and that is my problem.
Lots of Love
