Happy Monday !
This is Snowy Chalkfull .. my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands on Design .. This is Kimberly's from The Fat Quarter Shop that she stitched and I finished ..
Fat Quarter shop has a club for the Chalkfull series so she used fabric ( 14 count chalkboard Aida) and all the called for floss .. I found this aqua frame at Hobby Lobby .. It is a picture frame so I took out the glass.. mounted a red gingham check fabric on sticky board and stuck that over the frame opening .. Then mounted the stitching on sticky board .. and glued that to the top of the red gingham piece .. I made a bow from aqua gingham ribbon and red ticking stripe ribbon .. added another bow made for Lori Holt vintage trim and topped it with a red polka dot covered button ..some greenery picks were tucked in behind the bow .. Love how it is so bright for our dreary winter!
This is my Snowy .. mounted on the enamel piece I have used for the series ..

Priscilla, that is the cutest! I love the faces of your Santa's and your Snowmen....they are just adorable! I can't wait to see your next one. I don't know how you do it all!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your finish on Kimberly's stitching. The frame is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful for the inspiration you give us. Without you I don't think I would have taken up cross stitching again and I am loving it. It was the best day when I followed that link to your blog and then to Stitching With The Housewives.

I have one of the chalkboard Hands On Designs that I want to do. Have the threads too. But I am still waiting on the fabric. It is backordered (I ordered the suggested fabric) but I am tired of waiting on it. Can I ask what these chalkboard examples were stitched on and what sizes they turned out to be?
