Mrs. Carter's Farm

Hello friends!
Can you stand this cuteness?!?
This Little House Needleworks Mrs. O'Leary's Farm was stitched by my daughter .. We were having a hard time deciding how "we" (me) would finish it .

So today was the big church rummage sale we go to in the next town , and my daughter found this piece for $3.00.. I drew the farm fresh with chalk , and I used magnets and sheet metal to attach the ticking covered sticky board  with the sticthing on top.. to the board in case she wants to use it for a Christmas piece later..

I found the ticking fabric for the background at Hobby Lobby last week.. so it all came together! I used a strip of burlap for the bow , added a stack of twine flowers and a covered button made from the ticking  fabric.. She is also going to replace the knob at the top with a cow head knob.. can't wait to see that!

The fabric was a light Green 14 count ( she has graduated to 28) that we tea/ coffee dyed..and she used all the called for floss. I had seen Michelle Ruedy post this on Instagram with her name instead of Mrs. O'Leary's farm so my daughter also stitched her name ..It is such a great finish , I can't wait to see it in her house! It's so nice when you can find a piece for $3.00 and make it into something wonderful!

Thanks for stopping by!
