I was invited to an intimate bridal shower for a friend, who had at one time been a player on a Varsity basketball team I coached. They grow up so quickly! Because she is such a special person, she deserved a special gift! This is an 11x14 frame with burlap inside. I found the design online and traced it with my Silhouette program. It proved to be one of the most complicated tracings I have done to date because many of the leaves were not closed on the end or edges. The letters were also very small and the weeding was difficult. I had to re-cut several l's and i's. But I am proud of the result and Alex sent me a picture today of it hanging in their home. Alex married a soldier and he was stationed in another state. I love that making something personal helps keep the connection to home no matter how far away you are!
