Happy Hump Day everyone! (does anyone even say that any more?)
I am excited to show you one of my recent
finishes. I first shared this cross
stitch piece here . It was a Fat Quarter Shop stitch along during the
month of May.
Pattern Name: Feels Like Home
Designer: Fat Quarter Shop (It’s Sew Emma)
Fabric: 25 Count Lugana, Lori Holt Fabric in
Color Cloud
Stitch Count: 120w x 120h
Finished Size: 9 ½ “ x 9 ½”
Floss: 2 strands of the called for Classic
Colorworks floss over two
Start date: 5/2/20 End date: 6/3/20
Current status is “FFO” (Fully Finished Object)
This is the fully finished piece…I’m in
love!
I found the frame on clearance at Joann’s a
while back. The fence piece,
birdhouse and ribbon are from Hobby Lobby. I mounted the stitching on sticky board with a little batting underneath and it fit perfectly inside the frame.
The next piece is a new start and finish. American Spirit was a chart from the
Fat Quarter Shop’s quarterly stitch club.
I wanted to add to my patriotic décor and this
was a quick one.
Pattern Name: American Spirit

The truck wall hanging is from Hobby
Lobby. As usual, I mounted the stitching
on sticky board with a little batting. I
then added a small white rick-rack trim to the back.
I glued a magnet to the truck and a washer to the back of the sticky board then topped it off with a navy check bow.
These finishing techniques
have been made famous by Priscilla Blain of Stitching with the Housewives.
You can find all of her creativity on her blog Priscillas.
Here is my tiered tray in our breakfast
nook.
I found this tiny hutch that fits well in the small breakfast nook.
I’ll be starting one more patriotic piece
today.
Liberty is another Chalk Full chart from
Hands On Design and Priscilla Blain.
My new friend Sam, Farm Girl Sam, and I are stitching the pillow together.
The fabric is prepped and the thread is held together by a keep from Sampling
of Memories on Etsy...
...and all secured in my patriotic Mickey Mouse bag from
Denise at Dot Dot Goose Designs, you can also find her on Etsy.
This is going to be a fun -- and hopefully-- quick SAL. Of course, I still have other WIPs that
require my attention.
Hope you enjoyed my floss update.
Until next time…stay safe!
