Re: Little Sheep Virtues (update Apr 3)

Post by calico »

I finished all 12 virtues! I ran out of the floss color I needed for the words so while I waited for my 123Stitch order, I stitched the last 3. When my floss arrived, I just needed to add the words! I absolutely loved stitching these and am sad to see it end.

Kindness

Gratitude

Joyfulness

And finally, the finished (very wrinkled) project, hot off the hoop!

My plans for finishing this is to do some type of wall hanging with a thin cotton batting and coordinating fabric border hanging from a decorative hanger. Oh and I still need to add all the matching buttons, too!
BUT first, I've already ordered and started stitching another LittleHouse Needleworks pattern...Love them!

Thank you all! I'll be sure and post pics of the wall-hanging when I'm done.My sewing machine is not really accessible at the moment as we are remodeling our basement, so not sure when I'll get to the sewing part of it. I could commit our kitchen or dining room table to my sewing, cutting, measuring spot.....but I'm living amongst so much clutter right now( stuff we moved out of the basement for said remodel), that it would just add to the craziness.

Beautiful finish!! I can understand why you'd be sad to see it end, it's such a fun design. I really, really need these...trying to be budget-wise and hold off but after seeing it done, I don't know how much longer I can.
