Golf pictures

Recently I have been reminded of the cross stitch pictures that I made when we were still located in the old shop on Railroad Ave.

Both these pictures were made for Ron- Who recently had a total lung transplant last week.
When we moved to Franklin Street, Ron gave the 1st one to Larry which he has displayed in his office

On the bottom of this picture there are phone #'s of the local golf courses so that they could just glance at it when they want to call for Tee time.

This one is still here, but is not being displayed at this date. But since I don't think I have a photo of my work that I did, I dug it out of his closet and took this photo.

Michelle's picture.

A number of years ago I made this cross stitch picture for my friend Michelle.
Sunday I was reminded of it since she has it hanging on her wall.
I actually had forgotten that I had done it.

Cheaper by the dozen?

Wait---there weren't a dozen of them, just 10.
This morning at breakfast I was told that they wanted 10 aprons...4 right away.
So my yard became my sewing room today.

I set up my tables after I had spent some time computing how much material I would need to make them. I had measured one of the girls apron while there in the restaurant while she was wearing it. And since I had made the one she was wearing....back in Oct. I had a rough idea what lay in store for me.
SIX HOURS LATER---- I was just finishing up....and Man---that sewing room was hot today.
Guess next time I should move the mess inside where there is cooling. :)
All 10 of them ready to go to the restaurant to be used.
All black, but only two pockets instead of 3 (Thank you girls) Making those pockets are not easy.
Not exactly what I had planned on doing today. But, another job completed.
