Lovely door!

Thanks, Pierette. It was a lot of fun to stitch with Mimi. She did the brick wall, the step and the door architecture, then I added the light beside the door, the wreath and greenery on the door, the sidewalk and of course the little tree in its pot. Right now my mother displays it for Christmas but later on probably Mimi and I will probably alternate using it at Christmas.

Very nice! You both did a great job!

Thanks. It was a great collaboration since this piece needs both precision and detail (Mimi's forte) and the ability to do random stitching to mimic nature (I can do that!).

I'd encourage anyone who gets really stuck on a project to let a friend help stitch it. For us, it really worked well.
