To do this, I layered the sampler fabric with some batting and backing and added some quilting. I then trimmed it to 7 inches square and fused some heavyweight interfacing to the back. I finished the edges with a satin stitch in green thread to match the embroidery thread I had used. I then stuck this to the mount board (which I covered with a complimentary coloured paper) and put it inside the frame. It wasn't easy to photograph in the frame as there always seemed to be a shine from the glass!!
That must mean it's time to start another new project......!!

Christine, this is so precious! I’ve seen a couple, now, and it’s fun to see how everyone has finished them so differently! Yes, time speeds up as we get older. It doesn’t matter if you putter through your day at a snails pace or rush through, every time you turn around, another week is gone (and it’s time to do the dreaded grocery shopping!)!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful!
