Karen is either overwhelmed or hiding from the camera!
And now.....get ready for the photos from Show and Tell!
Stitched and finished by Francine.
Jane G.'s handywork. First is a La-De-Da piece that Jane put her own touch on by adding the color to the flower and bow tie.
Don't you just love the flag. How appropriate for Flag Day! What a cute stitch and Jane does the beautiful finishing too.
