This is a quick plaque I stitched up for my grandma. She just moved to a senior living type place and there is a 8'' by 6'' shadowbox outside each door.
I used wool scraps and handstitched it. If I make another one (for a different season, perhaps?) I won't use wool for the background - the stitches kind of sink into the thick wool and make them harder to see. I'll do a cotton background next time with wool accents. I stitched it to a rectangle of plastic canvas to keep it stiff enough to slide into the shadowbox. After the bottom picture, I covered the back with purple fabric to make it look nice and neat.
Hope she likes it!
"She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She watches over the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." Proverbs 31: 13 and 27 NKJV
Welcome to Anne's sewing blog!I started this blog in 2012 in an attempt to keep better track of all the little things I make. I have found it fun to 'catalog' what I make so I'll continue to post my finished projects as they appear.Its mostly for my personal use, but also gives me a way to share cute stuff with my craft-oriented friends and family. Enjoy!
