More fall Rising Star table toppers. This one uses a beautiful fall leaves fabric with a coordinating one in the same colors plus the accent of green. I thought about using an orange accent but thought it would be a bit too much orange and blend in more than I wanted.
A nice homespun for the backing.

Another sunflower one was needed but using a different sunflower fabric. The pattern is from Anka's Treasure in her book Angles with Ease. They are about 27" across. |
A gold backing fabric.
And Hello Summer is finished into a little pillow! I have a bin of lace and trims from doll clothes making days so I went there in search of something that might work. This is a design from Primrose Cottage. They used a pink cloth to stitch on, I didn't have any but I had white 14ct. Aida. To make mine magically turn into pink I used a watercolor pencil and rubbed it over the white Aida cloth and wet a stiff brush and brushed it over and over. I had never tried this before, it was an experiment that worked!
And the start is another little cross stitch piece so I have something to work on in the evening while watching TV.
Linking with Friday linky parties...
