Portrait of Robert E. Lee

Photo © Judy Janis
Judy Janis sent in this photo of a special project. She describes it as follows. "My husband, Gary, is fascinated with the War for Southern Independence. One of his war heroes is General Robert E. Lee. I stitched this portrait of General Lee for my husband and gave it to him for Christmas, unframed. He immediately took it to be framed because he said work like this desired the proper frame. The portrait now hangs in our foyer, with General George Washington and another portrait of General Lee."
