Popular Post heppnerguy Posted January 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted January 1, 2019 My wife wanted a new plaque for her wall and she wanted it to have a red backer board and a pretty design. Well, going through some of my patterns. I found this one that was designed and shared by our own, 'grampa'. and when I showed her the pattern, she her eyes lit up and I could hear the excitement in her eyes as she told me that it was perfect and beautiful. So off to the shop I went to cut it. It took longer then I had anticipated and after I had it cut I showed it to her for your approval. "It's beautiful. Now be sure and take your time finishing it for me." I had to admit that I was glad she had said that to me as I tend to hurry through the finishing part on my projects because I get so excited to see it all done and ready to be hung. It came out to be exactly how she wanted it and I was happy with it too. So there you go. Thank you for your generosity of sharing your beautiful pattern for all of us to use.

I asked her what she wanted and that was her wish, so since it was for her, I did it that way. Usually I do not like to paint any wood but It turned out that I happen to like it on this piece too.

wombatie Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 That is beautiful Dick, I can see why she loved it. When I first saw it I thought, 'That would make a great looking lid for a sewing basket'. Have no idea why, just did. Marg heppnerguy 1 Quote
