AIS: Geek Dinner Special Item

Each year for the last three years Jill Bonino has created a one of a kind petit point iris themed brooch for the Geek Dinner auction.

This year it is a black and gold iris petit point pin stitched on 40-count silk gauze with silk thread and Kreinik gold thread edging. This is an original design based on a photograph. I She creates the stitching as she goes, so there can never be two alike. This pin finding also has a hole for a chain. An 18-inch chain is included. The brooch is 1 3/8" wide and 1 3/4" tall.

I am hoping to get you all excited about the Geek Dinner auction this year There is a picture at:
