Thanksgiving may be over but there is always a reason to Give Thanks! I finally fully finished the Lizzie Kate cross stitch piece in which, oh my goodness, I stitched last year! Well, I just couldn't figure out the finishing last month but here it is:
It's a little fabric piece cut to approximately a 9" x 9" square that could be a wall hanging or other type of display. The fabric is a fat quarter I purchased from Walmart a year or two ago and I knew when I saw it that I wanted to use it for some type of Thanksgiving decor. I cut an opening to fit the design and sewed it down. I then cut a piece of brown fabric for the backing and sewed the two pieces with right sides together and flipped them out. To highlight the stitched design, I used fabric fusion to glue down strips of brown bias binding which also covers up the stitches from sewing the Aida cloth to the fabric. For the final finishing touches, I glued on a ribbon bow as well as some leaves and a flower from my craft stash.
