Bloom by With Thy Needle and Thread

The first project that I saw when I walked into Keepsakes was Bloom by With Thy Needle and Thread, Brenda Gervais.  It was finished as a cute little pillow on a shelf.  I decided that was what I wanted to stitch so Barbara whipped around the shop and kitted it up for me.

Pattern: Bloom by With Thy Needle and Thread

Linen: R&R Reproductions Espresso 36 Count

Threads:  Called for except:

Frame: ??? from Beard's Framing in Tualtin, OR

• WDW Brick in place of?? choice courtesy of ?? at Keepsakes
• DMC in place of Valdani Brick light choice courtesy of Lori at Acorn's and Threads

I used this project to be the first project I bought at Beard's Framing - a Portland chain and there is one attached to the Kroger by my house.  The frame is 4x10 and i went with museum glass.  It was 117 with a 25% discount.  Ouch.  I tell you this incase you have't framed and wonder what costs are like!
