Sometime in the 70's, my mother needlepointed this rocking chair seat cover. I've always admired its bargello pattern, color and handiwork. So when it came time to decide what to cover my grandmother's old rocker with, which is now in my studio, I could think of no better option than one of her daughter's personal needlepoint creations. So with a little input on color selection and repeat pattern design from
her daughter, this lovely flame stitch emerged. I can't wait to get the chair redone now. Thanks Mom! A little inspiration to keep me going while I tie on my next warp...

I have enjoyed the cover on our rocking chair in which, by the way, your great-grandfather LeRoy Hendrix (aka Opa) was rocked! Now I look forward to seeing yours. A great tribute to Mom and to you!! Well done.
