Good day, friends!
I finished stitching A
Honey of a Tiny Town a couple of weeks ago. It has taken me a while to decide
how to fully finish it.
I put together this
flat finish on a board, but I’m not sure I love it. The cross-stitched piece is
attached to sticky board with two layers of fabric behind it, also attached to
sticky boards. Those three pieces are hot glued together. Then the entire piece
is attached to the board by removable putty. This will allow me to take it off the board if I change my mind later.
A Honey of a Tiny Town is
designed by Heart in Hand. I stitched it on 25 count Lugana in the color Barley
by Lori Holt. I used two floss threads over two fabric threads.
The word "Hive" was supposed to be backstitched on the middle house but I attached a bee button instead.
Finishing this has inspired me to unpack my other bee stitching.
Since this piece is so large, I
may not be able to recreate the display I had last year. You can see that one in this post.
I have my May stitches
counted but I need to photograph the projects, so I’ll share those with you next week.
Tonight is Friday Night with Friends hosted by Cheryll at Gone Stitchin'. I'll be hanging out and continuing to attach bindings to quilts.
The weather this weekend
is supposed to be rainy. I'll be running the Farm Fresh 5K on Saturday to raise
money for a local food bank. The remainder of the weekend will be cleaning my house. Sounds exciting,
doesn’t it?!?
What are your plans? How
is the weather in your area?
I'm linking up with Alycia
for her Finish (or not) Friday.
See you soon,
