Paganini’s was the only choice for today.
I have to admit I’m not much of a music person. I’ve never paid money to go to a concert. I did not have an angsty teen music-my-parents can’t stand phase. I do however have a few good memories linked to music. Mountain drives with my brother on a cold day, top down and heater up singing along to Tenacious D and Buck-O-Nine. The Lord of the rings movie score and singing my nieces to sleep with Into the West. And I met my best friends in high school marching band. I might not value any one song or artist all that much, but I do value the memories that were made because of it.
Challenge. I cross stitched the label. I started with a basic treble clef pattern and modified heavily to try and give it the brush stroke look. I’m pretty proud of it. My aida cloth is a pale yellow/warm cream color. I might try going through with some pops of yellow thread but I think it would overwork the fabric. Anyway, this can join my Barrister and Mann Reserve Cool and Summer Break Soaps Bell Ringer cross stitch label collection.
