June Squaredance

Good morning!
Yesterday I started this Heart in Hand June Squaredance as one of my Maynia projects .. and I also finished it up last night ..you can find the chart here

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
I found this buffalo plaid canister at Hobby Lobby and wanted to use it for this series .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board ..with 2 layers of batting underneath .. I mounted patriotic check fabric to another piece of sticky board that I made longer at the top so I could add a bow or other embellishment .. I stuck 2 magnets inside the canister and added washers to the back of the stitched piece ..and it works great!
I used floss Licorice Red, Blue Corn, Bamboo  and Rainshower from the Land that I love Floss pack and also added Straw Hat and Ladybug ... all Classic Colorworks 
This will be on display on the shelf in my kitchen and will be so cute to change out every month! I wanted it to be red white and blue .. because all my patriotic decor is up middle of May thru the middle of July ..

4th of July Hoopla

Happy Tuesday .. That feels like Monday :) ..because of Memorial Day yesterday :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
Isn't this so cute!?! This was one of my Maynia starts last week and I finished it up this morning .. Three maynia finishes so far! ..I used the Land That I Love Floss Pack from The Fat Quarter Shop ...
and added Classic Colorworks Queen Bee for the stars..
Chart is available here ...Holiday Hoopla by With Thy Needle and Thread-http://shrsl.com/1m14x

Remember the Easter Hoopla that I had finished on this lantern shaped metal container I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby ? I used the same metal container for finishing.. I mounted the stitching on stocky board .. added patriotic plaid fabric to another sticky board and glued them together .. I used Beelori ..Lori Holt's vintage trim around the edges ..
I added magnets to the back to attach to the metal on the box ..  I made a bow from 3 different patriotic ribbons .. I added greenery with white and yellow buds and also red and White pip berry branches ..
I attached the bow with a pipe cleaner to the top of the handle ..I also glued 3 daisies to the bow and added a red gingham covered button to each one ..

A piece of red gingham ribbon got attached under the daisies and  I added a star to each side that I cut out of plaid homespun ..

I say that every time ...don't I :)

I was supposed to start Free and The Brave from The Drawn Thread .. when I opened up the chart and saw all the specialty stitches ..

Land That I Love

Happy Thursday! 
I finished stitched Land That I Love from Country Cottage Needleworks last night and finished it up this morning ... 
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I had found this truck at Michael's several weeks ago .. and it was just waiting for me to finish this piece up! I mounted the stitching to sticky board .. with 2 layers of batting underneath .. Then added red gingham check to another sticky board that was a lot longer so I could glue it to the back of the truck ..
The truck has a base so it can sit anywhere .. This is our stitchalong #pclandthatIlove
I added some bunting I made from ribbon and twine trim .. added daisies with plaid patriotic fabric covered buttons ,, and a flag glued to the back 
I used the Classic Colorworks floss colors I chose that are available at the Fat Quarter Shop 
Click here for those .. the chart is available *here*
It is so happy and patriotic!
