Default My embroidery gift

I completed an embroidery project that I hope to put in a frame for my 2 sisters in law. In memory of their dad. He was a crafter of wood and mother in law had some frames he made, so I was thinking of putting it in one of the ones he made. I've seen these made into pillows, but I thought a frame would be better for this gift.

How kind. They will be lovely in a frame made by their dad. Wonderful idea and great work.

Had not heard that phrase before, but it's a wonderful sentiment. Would love to see it after it's in the frame also!

I might actually have to make one pillow soon too. I work at an elementary school and we have an ill student. The family was told that they shouldn't plan a holiday vacation, because he might not make it that long. Sad....I don't think the family would want the pillow quite yet though. Maybe at the end of the school year as a memory of the staff at our school.
