One of my most favorite things is this piece of needlepoint my grandmother Nonnie gave me. She has always been an avid needlepointer (is that even a word?) and I’ve always been in awe of her talent. She gave me this piece sometime last year and I am constantly admiring the vivid colors and classic pattern.
The pattern itself was designed after the classic Mottahedeh Tobacco Leaf design (arrow pointing to it in the picture). The Tobacco Leaf pattern is just so southern and traditional yet it has such great pops of color and kinda feels funky and fresh…just love it!
All who know me well know that I adore my Nonnie and will understand why this holds a special place in the heart! ..sorry so sappy:)
I’m getting ready to have it made into a pillow…I’ll be sure to show you how it turns out.
