realized that I should have made the &quot;O&#39;s&quot; thinner and added a &quot;U&quot; for the Canadian spelling.  But I can send it to one of my nieces
who live in the US and the spelling will be correct <img height="18" src="http://needleandthread.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/thumbsup.gif" width="25" alt="image">

			<description><![CDATA[ Started and finished this over 2 days of stitching , probably less than 8 hours total stitching time, which is just what I wanted , a few small quick finishes
before I either go back to OAATiming or Rotationing!! (IS <u>Rotationing</u> a word? )
<br>
<br>
this is by Lynn Nicoletti, and is about 4 inches by 4.5 inches on 14 count blue aida.   there is quite an amazing amount of detail in such a small design and
not very much backstitch either, love this design!!
