Day 152 of 2025

I found this needlepoint piece in a container today
 during more garage clean out. 
I believe it was made by Mom. 
I was never sure how to handle it
 because it was a nice neat parallelogram. 
It occurred to me today that I could try to wet block it. 
So that's what I have done. 
I washed it completely in water with a bar of wool soap. 
I stretched in the needed direction
 and pinned it to a foam blocking square. 
There are a few moth holes here and there
 which I will attempt to mend once it's dry.

    1. Yes, I believe so too! I'll have to decide what to do with it. I usually make pillows out of this sort of thing but this one is fairly small so I may consider framing it.
