Flowers in Needlepoint



Church yard sales can be a feast or a famine. 

There's one in a town nearby that is almost always a feast.

The variety of things the people of that church donate to the sale is astounding.




A lot of people wait to go until the second day of the sale. Near the final hour, everything is fill-a-bag-for-a-dollar.

At one of those sales, at the tail end, I grabbed my brown bag and went to town. 

 Luckily, there were still a lot of very good, nice quality items left so into the bag they went.




Among the amazing goodies found was a framed bouquet of pink flowers with black background, done in needlepoint.

The frame, alone, must have cost a fortune.




This needlepoint would make a perfect pillow top.

 Personally, sewing is not one of my strengths but I'm on-the-lookout for someone to take this beauty out of the frame and turn it into a pillow slip. 

Do you think that be a good idea?
