A Tray full of Red White and Blue!

Hello friends!
This is Every Heart from Country Cottage Needleworks.. I started this last year and finished it up this spring and finally finished it today ..

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
I decided to use the flea marker tray that I have used for other seasonal projects .. The tray was tarnished silver but I painted it with linen white chalk paint ..
I added a blue buffalo check covered sticky board to the back of the stitched piece that was also mounted on sticky board .. I then made 2 ruffles of red ticking stripe fabric to the bottom and the top

Hickory Sticks, Desert Mesquite, Blue Corn, Bamboo, and Licorice Red were the floss colors I used.. I stitched it one 28 count light blue evenweave that I coffee tea dyed ..


***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
I used lambs ear type greenery , added some daisies and a big red white and blue plaid bow .. On top of the bow I added another daisy with a covered button in the blue plaid ..so cute! I also added some strips of the blue check fabric streamers to the topper ..for extra dimension...
 I did hot glue the topper onto the top of the tray , since it is metal it will peel off to add another seasonal design ..
  I used magnets in the tray and washers on the back of the project ..


The blue buffalo check fabric came from this bundle ..Kitchen Wovens Fabric Bundle-http://shrsl.com/1lw72

Star Spangled Swine Farm!

Good morning! 
It's such an exciting day because you get to see the newest Farmhouse Chalk ! This is Star Spangled Swine Farm! My chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design! It's red white and blue farmy fabulousness!

Don't you love Red , white and blue along with pigs , chickens and a cow! 

I finished the smallest piece the same way I did the small from Carrots and Cottontails .. I added 2 layers of batting under the stitching and attached it to sticky board .. I also added red "vintage trim " from Lori Holt and the Fat Quarter shop .. I stuffed the thrifted wooden box with daisies ..a cotton branch .. a bow made from black check and red, white and blue check ribbons .. I also tucked a flag into the top ..
The biggest piece went onto the bottom of the "door " it is mounted on sticky board and then added to another piece of  sticky board covered in black buffalo check fabric .. Love the banner and the house and the cute little piggies in the back of the truck! I cant forget those pretty chickens with the bunting!
The chalkboards I drew for the designs ..

I found the wreath at Hobby Lobby .. this one is different than the one I used for Carrots and Cottontails .. I added a bow to the top made from 3 different ribbons.. A metal flag also from Hobby Lobby .. and plaid ribbons and daisies scattered around ..I used little daisy trim around the stitching .. and mounted it on plaid fabric ..

The sign portion took a trip through  Disneyland .. Pluto and Minnie loved it!


 I have been so excited for you to see this ! I hope you all love it as much as I do!


Call your shops or get on a list somewhere to get the chart when it comes out towards the end of May!

Our trip to Fat Quarter Shop

Happy Friday! 

I thought I would give you a little peek of our trip to the Fat Quarter Shop in Austin Texas! We had such an exciting trip .. it was just the best!We flew out of  Ohare airport in Chicago on a Tuesday morning ..

We were met at the airport by Kimberly and Denise.. We loved meeting Kimberly and her team ! The whole place was just amazing with beautiful quilts everywhere!
When we walked in to the studio it was like being at home with all of our cross stitch on display! We had sent to big boxes of our finished pieces the week before .. The first video we filmed was this one ..
Our favorite stitchy things video..


eeek! Lilly with our names on the "clapper board" :)


We filmed 2 other videos the first day and those will be coming up sometime later this month ..


On Wednesday we filmed the Live flosstube with Kimberly .. it was amazing to be able to answer all the questions the viewers were asking!

That same day we filmed all of our Stitchmaynia projects we were starting .. there were 97 projects between the 3 of us!
The last day was spent doing some  finishing ... I finished up a couple pieces and those will be videos later this month also!

Lots of videos are still left to come on both the Fat Quarter Shop Flosstube and our channel !

Denise and Kimberly on our last night ..
We had such a great time and hope we can do it again! Cash is Ready!
And then it was Friday and time to go home!
