Last weekend I had a bit of free time so I decided to put the finishing touches on these three little cross stitch pieces. They had been stitched in the last couple years, once the stitching was all done I put them aside. The plan was to make them into little bowl fillers.
But as you see that plan morphed into something else! A little garland to hang on my entry way quilt hanger sounded like a better idea as I have lots of snowman items to sit about here and there.
After trimming to the correct size, I turned the raw edges to the back and hot glued them onto a piece of foam core board.
Gluing a piece of felt to the back to make it neater, adding a bow and a little piece of trim to the outside edges they were ready to be strung together with jute twine.
Another Snow Dudes table runner was needed.
I used a new to me fabric for this one. With tiny white dots all over it kinda mimics snow.
Lots of Accuquilt sales still happening.

ReplyDeleteVery sweet little snowmen! I have a Christmas-y cross stitch project hiding somewhere. It was put away over the summer partially done. Guess it's time to get it out and finish it.

ReplyDeleteYour garland is so cute! Great idea, and you've inspired me to get out some pieces of cross stitch to see if I can do something besides frame them. Snow Dudes is adorable!

Great garland idea... even I could cross stitch a couple of small items and make a similar display for a quilt rack. Thanks for giving details on the finishing also. This is a possibility for me in the future...
