Monday Making

I'm not a Crewel Embroidery expert.

I don't know how to get the KINKS out of the linen background after it's done.

;/

I probably didn't use the right kind of yarn.

and...

I didn't follow the color diagram

OR

 the stitching diagram.

I DID my OWN thing...

and that's what was SO MUCH FUN!!!

With a $1 price tag...

I figure it was a GREAT entertainment VALUE!!

It gave me hours of happy work.

Now...

to get a NICE backing and finish this PILLOW!!

I'll be wondering as I sew...

"Should I KEEP it???

Or give it away????"

That's ALWAYS the question.

What are YOU up to this week???

Thank you for joining me here each week 

as we share about MAKING stuff!!!

You're a BUSY bunch

and I LOVE seeing it ALL!!

Pillow

When I found this little piece of CREWEL work...

it was folded up and neglected.

Aren't those flowers and weeds BEAUtiFUL???

'

Whoever spent ALL that time hand stitching..

never got around to

making it useful!!!

 

I LOVE taking these little UFO's and

turning them into SOMETHING!!

 

I added the borders and hand stitched around the outside..

then added a back and stuffing.

This time the something...

is a pillow!

:)

and...

it's in my little shop.
