I love those vintage images of old homes with hand embroidered pictures

either hanging on the wall or above the fireplace.........
pretty flowers and simple phrases.....
that make a strong statement and give the house
a " home" feel. 

Our home is a 1903 Bungalow............and the people ( who first owned it) and who moved it from a growling  town to where it is sitting now (in the middle heaven.........mesquite wood prairie).......... , spent two years fixing sheet rock, the bathrooms, the plumbing, the central air, and all of  the every day things that really were not available a hundred years ago.......in a house like this......... to make this house......
 a comfortable home............
yet it still has that nostalgic charm......inside and out.
Over the years I have embroidered many pieces.......
many I have made as gifts and have given away......
many I have sold in my shop........
but not this time.........
this time 
I embroidered this piece......for our home to give it 
that  authentic  "home" touch to it..
Now I need to find the perfect frame........but which wall to hang it on?
Any suggestions?
And tell me...........
what are your favorite home phrases??
Home Sweet Home
God Bless Our Home
Welcome Friends
or something else?
I would love to hear!

    You have a special touch for making beautiful things for your home.
    I think my favorite phrase would be "God Bless our Home" and then the others would naturally follow.

    Kathleen, such a beautiful sentiment and piece...beautiful work, as always. The kitchen is a nice place to hang it, or over a door frame...I think you will find the perfect spot.

    I think my favorite sentiment is "God Bless Our Home", but I love others, too.

    Thank you for sharing your lovely work.

    Blessings for your home,

    Marianne xo
