This model was a long time coming. Again, I like Bent Creek patterns and kits that are done on 18 Ct Linen as they are easy to stitch in the car when I am traveling to my daughter's, which is an hour and 1/2 away from me. I had started this on one of my trips, and it was finished in April. I picked out a red frame, never thinking it would become a problem. Well - when my frame did not arrive by July,I akd my framer for a suggestion for a patrotic pattern that I wanted to hang this year - my frame man suggested the frame that I finally used and it has become such a hit.
