Today’s Friday Finishes is devoted to my grandmother, who I made this piece for. I made it for her for Christmas of 2011, I believe, and forgot to take a picture of it at the time. I’ve taken one of it since then, but it’s not the greatest picture on the planet.

This piece was written using Google Search to find the information, as once again, I went into my Charts Binder to get the kit information and it was missing. Either it went missing after I finished it or I threw it away when I was done. I swear I stopped throwing them away but I guess for this particular piece I must have.

Name of Piece: Item K1143-16: Grandma’s House

Designed by: Neither the website nor the kit says.

Distributed as a kit by Janlynn under their Designs for the Needle series.

Kit Contains: 18-count White cotton Aida fabric, 6-strand cotton floss, self-adhesive mounting board, needle, graph and instructions.
