What a joy to stitch and assemble this piece.....
This was a design from Lody Steward from the GOS July 2009 #42 issue. I used 28 ct white linen from my drawer and the threads are DMC # 115 and #792. The beads are gold beads from my bead box.
What a great design......The article says that this would be the display position.....
...and then to use as a pin cushion....
isn't it lovely! I plan to make a few more using different colors.
I started my Fall Exchange...I know, we have not even had the sign up or the name of our exchange partner....better early than hustling later. Here is the linen I dyed...
I used Rit Tan and plain white....I love the way the red splotches come out. I gathered and then rolled it in on itself when I put it in the bath.....really love the way it turned out. I like to dye my linen.....fun to experiment. So far they have always turned out to my liking.
Today is errand day...just a few...with these hot dog days upon us I was wondering if anyone would like to do a an inexpensive and easy exchange------A Friendship Exchange----just a postcard exchange. Just leave me an email with your snail info. Just another way to connect with a friend or make a new one.
Glad you stopped by today...have a pleasant day.
