I have been busy making a gift for a friend. He is turning 60. He is a big racing fan and loves Nsacar. His favorite driver is Jeff Gordon so I did a pattern that would incorporated these likes. On the 2 end squares I have bought some pins to put in them and also another on the top. This is just the stitching part, I will wash and iron this then add the pins and frame it.

Oh one pin in Nascar, one is a Jeff Gordon pin and the final one is 2 crossed racing flags.

Hey Rose, that is a wonderful idea- the project itself is gorgeous but the added touch of pins just makes it extra special! Lovely work :applesauce:

The NASCAR stitch is really great Rose. Especially the idea of adding the pins. It's going to look perfect :)
I should do an Indy one for my hubby as he supports Dario :lol:

And more pot sticks. They're so lovely and colourful. Love 'em :)
