Seize the Birthday # 223-Faux or Real Stitching

Hello, It's Barbara and I am your host for this challenge. I chose Stitching as it is another fun craft that I do. When the weather starts to get cooler, my thoughts turn to the things that my grandmother taught me. I have fond memories of sitting outside with her while she taught me how to stitch.

For this challenge you can do real or faux stitching, it is up to you.

Just have fun!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
