This summer I started a wool sampler with creative stitching inspired by Sue Spargo. It was fun to create and even more fun to practice my pebble quilting on!
Here are a few close-ups of the stitching on some of the flowers:
This now happily hangs in my bathroom, truly making it easy to live, laugh and love!
Also for a quick tip on hanging quilts, I use:
These babies are STRONG! I've used them to hang larger quilts as well.
2014 will find me sharing more wool/creative stitching, as every year I treat myself to one BOM and Sue Spargo's BOM called: In Full Bloom is my choice for 2014! It will definitely make for some wonderful "happy mail" don't ya think!
Hope your week is off to a great start.
With smiles!
