Home Sweet Home

Here is one of my first school craft projects which my mother kept in a box along with her photographs and keepsakes. Barely half of it could fit on the scanner at once so I had to do a little Photoshop to splice it together, and you still can't see all the slip-stitched edges, a different color on each side. This burlap needlepoint hung in our home for years, on the back of the basement door, making do as a grocery list. The white blob seen here held a note pad and the tree trunk a pencil, which was still there when I pulled it out of the box.
