Happy Easter


Good morning!
This is Easter Wreath from Tiny Modernist .. stitched by Kimberly at Fat Quarter shop and finished by me :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
I found the bunny at Hobby Lobby .. it is metal and stands on its own .. it's belly was the perfect size for the stitched piece ..
I mounted the stitching on sticky board , with 2 layers of batting underneath .. and added a ruffle of torn aqua gingham ..I added another fabric covered sticky board for the back ..
here is the item # for the bunny ..and the chart is here 
to attach the piece to the bunny I glued a piece of ribbon to the top between the back sticky board and the front sticky board which I tied around the neck area of the bunny .
 Then I just stuffed the piece into the belly area ..for the bow I used 2 ribbons and added 2 small carrots and a little chick..

September Square Dance 2


Good morning! 
This is Chelsea's September Square Dance from Heart In Hand Needleart that I finished on a buffalo check canister  she found at Hobby Lobby ..
***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

My September Square dance here  these canisters were in last year's Spring decor at Hobby Lobby and are no longer available .
I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting underneath 
I used 2 fabric covered sticky boards .. one black gingham and one red polka dots 

I added red check ribbon on the sides with some Lori Holt vintage trim over the top .. Chelsea wanted a bow that would work for all the months so I made a bow of 2 different black check ribbons .. The stitching is attached with magnets and washers to be able to switch out monthly ..
She will be able to store all the months in the canister ..
