Land That I Love


Hello friends!

Just FFOed my newly stitched Land That I Love pattern by Lizzie Kate. I changed a lot of the colors to make it blend a little bit better with the nautical frame that it's mounted in. The frame has a dry-brushed white and grey effect complete with nautical roping -- I just love it!


I stitched this piece on some dyed evenweave and then chose to mount it on some simple blue-grey polka dot fabric. It seemed a little too bare when I mounted it inside the frame so I opted for a little bow I made from some American flag ribbon I had lying around, and then popped in a blue and white striped cover button.

STITCHY DETAILS:

Pattern: Land That I Love
Designer: Lizzie Kate

Colors Used: 
DMC: 729, 816, 930, 932, 3024, 3031, White 


Thanks for stopping by!

Dogs Leave Pawprints



Hello Friends!

Just put the finishing touches on this mounted flatfold. The design is "Dogs Leave Pawprints" from Lizzie Kate. Being that I'm a dog lover myself, this pattern has always been one of my faves. I don't usually substitute any colors, but for this specific FFO, I wish I had because I went to go put the flatfold together and realized that out of my entire fabric stash, I somehow didn't have a matching fabric. Luckily, I was able to find some homespun that coordinated nicely. Phew!

Thanks for stopping by!
