For a long time now, I've been wanting to stitch my design "Down Virginia Way" and make it into a little drum finish. This week I put needle to linen and got it stitched.
I had to rework it a bit to make it fit. I removed the alphabet that was orig to the design and replaced it with a hive with some flying bees. I stitched it on 32ct Days Gone By linen, but kept the called for threads.
This afternoon I got it all finished up and I love how it turned out. All of about 4" high.
It's a very sweet little drum indeed.

I am determined to fill up my table at the Prim Stitchers Retreat in GA next month and this will be headed down there with me.
