Cross Stitched Guitar for my Son

This is a gradation gift I stitched for my son when he graduated a couple of years ago.  It was a free pattern on the internet that I altered to look like his guitar. I removed his name for privacy.

Orphan Block

This was a block my friend Wendy made that she didn't want, so she gave it to me.  I love the bright cheery colors, so I made it into a hot pad, and practiced Stippling and putting on binding.  I really like how it turned out. Thanks Wendy!
