Pigs and a Grater

Happy Friday!
What is cuter than a truck full of pigs on a vintage kitchen grater ?  :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

This is a little portion of Star Spangled Swine Farm my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design! 

I just stitched the little truck for this piece .. This is the same grater that Carrots and Cottontails Farm  was on !

I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting .. I added a little bunting to the top made from ribbon .. and added a little row of flower trim to the bottom .. a magnet holds it to the grater

I made a bow from 3 different types of ribbon and added a daisy with a covered button ..

She’s a Grand Old Flag !

Good morning!

This is Quaker Flag from The Stitcherhood .. all finished up! This is a stitch a long with Kimberly from  The Fat Quarter Shop #fqsquakerflag .. 

This was also one of my Stitchmaynia starts and my 8th Stitchmaynia finish :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I stitched it on 28 count really darkly tea / coffee dyed fabric .This stuff was roasted and toasted kind of on accident .. but I love it!  I used Classic Colorworks ..Ribbon Red .. Blue Corn and Bamboo... Calvin must have taken the Ribbon Red Tag .. He prefers Licorice Red :)

I mounted it on a board I had painted the same color as my kitchen ,, then distressed with glaze. I had previously used this board for Easter Peep Parade  which I had mounted on there with magnets and sheet metal ...

I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting .. I added red buffalo check fabric on sticky board for the backing .. Washers were added to the back to attach to the magnets already on the piece .I made a bow with 3 different ribbons and added a wooden star I bought at Hobby Lobby .. Love it on the aqua!
 It goes perfectly with the small piece from Star Spangled Swine! As I said in our You Tube video .. I would have never chosen this chart to stitch by the photo .. but look at it ! It is amazing.. and it was quick to stitch!

Thnaks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Freedom Reigns!

Good morning! 

As promised yesterday here is Freedom Reigns from Silver Creek Samplers ! 

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I mounted it on a piece of barn wood .. I added a plaid homespun covered sticky board to the back of the stitching.. a ticking stripe bow and a galvanized star finish it off ..

Isn't it awesome? Love it on the barn wood!

I stitched it on 28 count whitewash board linen ..you can find that here  this is a pretty big piece of fabric that I will be able to stitch a lot of other pieces on .. I used all Classic Colorworks ..Nature's Trail for grass and leaves .. Old Blue Jeans words and flag.. Barn Door flag , doors windows and words .. Honeycomb stars and flower.. Tea and Biscuits barn .. Sticks and Twigs windows , numbers, roof and fence.. pine needles leaves.. Stepping stones lines in barn .. Eggshell x's on barn doors.. I made the fence dark because I wanted it to show ..this was a Maynia start and my first project I have stitched on Linen .. 

It sits on the hearth of the fireplace on a piece of vintage fence from a flea market ..you can see the mantel here 

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Threee Finishes for Chelsea

Happy Sunday!
I finished up 3 of Chelsea's finishes this week and here they are ...
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

First up Sunflower Sampler from Heart In Hand ..I finished it on this little screen door we had found at a thrift store . Mounted the stitching on stocky board with a piece of batting in between ,, and added ruffled black gingham .. I made a bow from 2 different black check ribbons and added a big sunflower and yellow thistle balls.

Next .. Heart In Hand Merry Making Mini 4th of July .. I mounted it on sticky board with 2 layers of batting and mounted plaid homespun on another sticky board .. glued them together and added them to this handmade distressed paddle from Lela Mae designs ..they have a facebook group where they sell their items .. I added a ticking stripe bow and a star cut out of ribbon with a covered button for the center . Chelsea used the floss pack for land that I Love .. listed below

and last .. Happy 4th of July from Tiny Modernist .. I used a piece of the shiplap board from Cash's nursery and mounted the stitching on sticky board ( I also used batting on this one ) mounted plaid patriotic fabric on sticky board ..glued the 2 pieces together and then added a red ticking ruffle . A bow made from 3 different patriotic ribbons and a daisy with a covered button for the center .

My Happy 4th of July was finished the same way ... just with different fabrics , ribbons and of course stitched on different color fabrics . But you can see how a chart looks so different just with finishing and fabric colors !
