I've been feeling kind of blue lately about the state of our union. I came across this pattern 'Union Forever' by Maggie Bonanomi in my recently organized stash. I LOVE IT. I feel a lot better now after stitching up this one!! And, the fabric I stitched it on was Melinda Bridal White, 30 ct. It cost me $1.09....did I buy that in my last life?? Anyway, I coffee dyed it and I think it worked up great.

Wow, a piece of fabric for $1.09. What a deal. I think your coffee dyeing looks wonderful as does your stitching!
That is a GORGEOUS finish!! I think you are the BBD queen. YGG. The $1.09 linen--perfect.
I love it, Cari! I might need to stitch this for my office. I would have sworn it was a BBD! Great finish and fantastic job with the fabric dyeing!
It's gorgeous, Cari! I love how it came out!
Oh my, just had to post and tell you how gorgeous a finish that is!! Have had it forever in my stash, but going to have to stitch it soon. Just beautiful!
Bring it to Utah so I can fondle it! LOVE it! XOXO
I love it. It looks like a design from the civil war era. I hope that God does bless america...we need it!!
Thanks for sharing--
So much beauty and pleasure for $1.09 + thread, time, and talent
XOXO
So beautiful! I too am worried about the State of our Union. What a beautiful reminder of what this country stands for.
I'm looking at all of your Blackbird finishes. I love the mystery sampler. I might have to stitch that now that it's not a mystery LOL!
Found your blog on Teri's blog. Thanks for posting. It inspires me to keep stitching away!
