Can it be????? This September, my husband and I will celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary! Seems like only yesterday ....

I finished stitching the background on this while enjoying 11 hours! of music at the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival last weekend at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL. What a show! Stitching while listening to amazingly talented musicians was a real treat.

The background is done in a cashmere variation in Vineyard Silk, a wonderful fiber.

What a cutie and what a great stitching project. Libby Sturdy's design is full of interesting and challenging techniques. It's well worth the time and effort. Anyone with ties to Chicago will certainly enjoy displaying this piece at Christmastime.
