O Pioneers!
by chuckofish
The Sign of the Arrow called Tuesday to say that daughter #1’s ornament–which she had dropped off in April when she was home–was ready to pick up and so I stopped by after work.
Isn’t it great? The Pioneer is the mascot of our local high school. He is a manly pioneer with a coonskin cap. For me he always evokes Walt Whitman and his:
COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready;
Have you your pistols? have you your sharp-edged axes? Pioneers! O Pioneers!
Anyway, I had to share.

Awesome!!
It looks so good!! and certainly took them long enough–I’d forgotten about it!!
I know, right? They said they had been super busy–some other needlepoint shop stopped their finishing service, so…I always thought they were the only game in town!
Crazy–it could have been an out of town store that shipped to SOA!
Looks wonderful!
Now THAT’S a mascot! And may I add, such even stitching tension. Hard to believe Miss Mary is ever stressed out.
