A Gift for a friend.....

Last week, my husband and I flew to see his former boss retire from the AF after 30years!!!  It was such a wonderful retirement ceremony and then a small reception after the ceremony.  Ch. Browning was such an amazing boss to everyone, and we were so blessed that he was Ted's boss here at Wright Patterson AFB for a short time before moving to TX.  There was an additional reception that night to share in their special day.

I had to raise my camera and zoom in close to the ceremony to not photograph all the people sitting in front of me.  That's why it looks like there is only partial pictures.

The last photo is the gift that Ted and I gave him.  Many of you know I was cross stitching MBT 10 Commandments.  I did not want to say that it was for Ch. Browning as I didn't know if by some weird chance he would see it on my blog.  The 10 Commandments was stitched on 36ct Legacy Edinburgh Linen with Gloriana silk in Midnight and NPI  503.  I wasn't able to present it to him, but Ch. Browning did see it when Ted and I were at there and he was THRILLED with his gift along with the many other gifts on his table. (I am sorry the picture is crooked.  That was my fault for holding the camera slightly crooked to keep the glare off of it while taking the picture.







Yes.... I will be restitching this one again for Ted's promotion to Colonel.  So be sure to watch for the WIP of it to come....most likely after the Christmas season.  I am finishing up some things right now.

Thank you for reading my blog.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

HAPPY STITCHING!

  3. Brenda what a beautiful and most perfect gift for someone so worthy. My husband retired after 30 years as an Air Force Colonel too and it is such a beautiful and emotional ceremony. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my Air Force family. Best wishes to you and please thank your husband for his service which is most appreciated. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
