Needlepoint is an expensive hobby, but considering the time spent, Enriched Stitch shows that a piece will entertain one on a per hour basis for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

I keep track of my time, the threads, the canvas and the framing too. I write it all on the back with the name of the designer and date it. That way whoever receives it has the knowledge and it is not a garage sale item! LOL
ReplyDeleteClever! I might have to do that with my next project. It's a gift for the future as well. All the museums in the world are saluting you, Pat!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the salute, but this way they all know thosevalues of the piece along with the actual gift itself.
ReplyDeleteTrue. And I think that's important these days when many people have no clue about the number of hours or the expense involved in a handmade present.
