For this picture I machine stitched (free style) all except the boards. I put them in by hand with a long running stitch. Here is the before picture:
These pieces have been 8 X 10.
In memory of my Dad...
Here is a picture of my him, taken 55 or so years ago when he was a young handsome sailor. He has been gone about 15 years now from cancer.
