Sunflower fun

 I started stitching this Sunflower piece over a month ago. It didn't take long to finish the cross stitch and then it sat, I kinda have a theme with that on several projects!  Well yesterday I decided I had just enough time to make it into something. It's a freebie from our friend Melisa who generously makes and gives us new stitchin' patterns all the time, thank you Melisa!!

I knew I wanted it to be a little pillow. And I had fabric in mind as I just finished another project with it. The brown with gold metallic dots was the perfect framing fabric and then I added a somewhat checkerboard gold and ivory fabric to finish it off. I say somewhat as when I started I didn't figure the aida cloth size right for the checkerboard. Therefore the checkerboards ended up an odd size and doesn't match in  the corners perfectly, I am okay with it because it is done;)  A half hour later and it was done and on display in my entry way.

Since it matched the wall hanging I just finished it needed to be a prop!!  Squeeee, it's perfect, I am in love with it!!  The wall hanging is my pattern called Welcome the Sunflowers which can be found in my Etsy pattern shop HERE.
