from "Liberty Gardens" and can now cross it
off my list. Only have the table runner to finish quilting
which I hope to finish this weekend.
I am a little disappointed in the stitchery as it had to go
in a larger frame, 11 x 14. I was hoping I could squeeze
it into an 8 x 10, but it was just a little too big and I
didn't want to spend the money to have it custom
framed right now. Really don't like having all the
extra white space around the embroidery, but for now
it will have to do as I want to enjoy its patriotic feeling.
It really does "cheer the heart and delight the soul" as
the patterns are designed to do according to the
designer, Sandy McKee.

Maybe when I take down my patriotic things, I'll
turn it into a quilted wall hanging or have a frame
made. Or, maybe some other way of displaying
it will come to mind and then again, it may just
remain in the frame. But, at least it's done and I
can enjoy it!
Your stitchery is so cute! :0)
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery looks adorable in the frame.
ReplyDeleteNola, I think it is just adorable! I have bought mats at Hobby Lobby for some of my stitcheries when I didn't like the wide space between the frame and stitching. Most of my stitchery turns into little wall quilts any more. I just make a few blocks to go around the embroidery and hand quilt it. Have a great 4th. Hard to believe it is that time already.
ReplyDeleteYou did it!! Yay!! It came out just beautiful. It will make a nice wallhanging, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece! And I think it looks lovely in this frame..not too much white space in my opinion. Enjoy this patriotic gem!
