Ash and Grant came visit the second week of July. I always love having them at the house. I miss them terribly. So, I knew I needed to get my butt in gear and finish her birthday present.
I actually finished stitching these pretties back in May, well before we left Odessa. I even bought the frame for them in Odessa. And cut out the sticky board LOL I had ordered a new glue gun, but the wrong glue stick size, so that is what the hold up was. But, with Ashley coming to visit I got the correct glue sticks and got to work.
This was easy to finish up and Ashley loved them. The pattern is A Year of Celebrations by Hands on Design (one of both mine and Ashley's favorite designers). I dyed the fabric myself. I believe it was a color called paper bag on the Rit Dye website. I used some of the called for colors, but most of it was switched to Colour and Cotton threads.
With this set being done, I am motivated to finish up my Truckin Along series by Stitching with the Housewives. The trucks are for Mallory (I've got a calendar set picked for each of the girls). I'll pull them out the next time I get into my craft room.
Until next time...
