Sewing Bird & Company by Sandra Sullivan of Homespun Elegance is a small simple design that I saw posted in a Facebook group. I bought it from one of the stash selling groups.
I am hoping it would fit onto the top of a box I had purchased earlier.
Dimensions:
- Length: 4 1/2″
- Width: 5 13/16″
- Height: 1 1/8″
I selected a piece of 25ct white Lugana and Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss Log Cabin and Hot Chili Peppers. The stitched piece would be 4 3/4″ x 2″. Once I finished stitching the piece, I mounted it on top of the playing card box that I had painted with Folk Art acrylic paint Expresso.
On the inside I used some batik fabric for two of the openings. One has a button I got in a finishing kit and the other has some Sew Pretty pins (Autumn Splendor) and a scissor charm. The mini sampler is from Casting a Spell and the other stitched piece is a freebie Quaker Flower from The Sisterhood. I may add some trim to the top but enough for now.
Very nice!! Love the colors in these projects. Beautiful finishing. 🙂
What a beautiful finish, Pat! I am assuming you stitched it over one on the 25 count lugana. The inside is so pretty. Well done!
The box finish is just lovely. Beautiful stitching.
