This is an embroidery piece that I finished in backstitch.  I used a DMC floss, but I forget which color!  This summer my husband and I were off for the day, and came a cross a quilt shop, and of course I had to pop in!  He is so patient in those situations, and even helps me shop!  Anyways, he loves lighthouses and nautical types of themes.  I ended up purchasing this beautiful piece of thick linen, and then transferred a simple design on it.  I then sewed a piece of coordinating fabric on the bottom.  I was so pleased with how this came out.  It was a really, really quick project.  I realize in looking at this that I forgot one important thing- to iron it!  I will remember for the next time I take a picture. Always, ~Jaime
