Retirement gift

Post by TracyG »

Our favorite doctor, our eye doctor, retired this past month and we were invited to his retirement part this evening (super fun party, by the way!) and I really wanted to stitch a gift for him. Here's what I did:

Image

It's a Lizzie Kate design, stitched on 28 count Colorscapes Cashel in Fog. It was really fun and quick to stitch and our beloved Dr. Bernstein loved it! Really...the best doctor we've ever had, the only one I've ever had give me his home phone number just in case we needed him...gonna miss him!

Great finish! I am sure he loved it, so cheerful :applesauce: :applesauce:
I can almost justify you for having gone overboard again :D :D (I read the forum stitch from stash thread first :D )
