    A beauty of a rescue! Nice that you were able to also use a frame you already had!

    Great save, I recently bought 6 little tortoise embroideries which I am adding to for a quilt for one of my grandsons. I love finishing these 'found' items.

    Thanks everyone! I really loved the picture that someone lovingly made. It had to take days, maybe months to make. I used to do cross stitch and I know it takes some serious time to make all those stitches in the right order.

    The other thing I loved about it was it says that it was made by pat. In my lifetime I have had three really close friends by that name. So, it seemed meant to be, since they are all gone now.

    The original maker would be pleased knowing it ended up in its forever home. A perfect fit.

    That is so adorable. I love to cross stitch but can't do it as much now do to aging eyes! lol I love the borders you added to fit your frame. Now sit back & enjoy!
