Peaches

Date Started: 2/17/2013
Date Finished: 2/22/2013

Stitched for: Me

Fabric Used: Tan Perforated Paper
Threads Used: DMC

Project Notes: I used two strands for the cross stitch and 1 strand for the backstitching instead of the 3/2 strands called for in the instructions.  I glued a magnet on the back and this sits on my refrigerator with other "food" magnets.
