When I first received the patterns and threads, I debated with myself about what I wanted to make.  I really loved the chair design so decided to do it but still didn’t decide what to actually make from it.  After I finished the embroidery, I still couldn’t decide.  I had one of the little candy packs (2 1/2 inch squares) of Homecoming by Sweetwater so decided to put a small border on the piece.

The net result of all this babbling is that I am still not sure what I am actually going to make with it – probably a pillow.  It may need an additional border to make it large enough.  I don’t have enough squares to do another row, but could probably find scraps that would work.

Isn’t it cute!  I love the colors and the design and everything.  It was really fun to stitch.
