This is the piece I entered into our county fair this year.  It was my first fair entry ever!  I was very nervous and anxious as there were other beautiful pieces entered.  It turned out I won the blue ribbon for first place!!  This is called Celtic Christmas and was designed by Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum.  It's stitched on 28 count white Monaco fabric.  There are also a ton of seed beads on this piece.  Now I have my eye on our state fair!!

Little Collage

I had this 4 opening mat and frame and needed something to put into it. I searched a very long time to find four motifs small enought to fit each of the openings in the mat. I have a lot of Celtic motifs and I finally! found three that would work. I used my initial to fill the fourth space. It's framed in an antiqued gold frame. These motifs used DMC cotton floss, Mill Hill seed beads and Kreinik blending filament. Each motif measures 1.5" X 2.5". Framed, it measures 13" X 5".
