Hands on Design Chalk Full Small Boo!








I am finally sharing my small Boo! Hands on Design Chalk Full piece! Life has been hectic and I wanted to post this earlier. I am trying to wrap up all my fall and Halloween posts before Thanksgiving, but we will see how that goes 😂 As mentioned in my previous post where I shared my finish of the larger Chalk Full Boo! design, my whole kit came from the Fat Quarter Shop Chalk Full Club. I had made some color substitutions in the larger design (which you can read about here) and I used the same color changes in the smaller design as well. I really enjoyed stitching this smaller piece! Note I forgot to fill in the green on the pumpkin stem. I may get around to going back and filling that in, but maybe not 😉



 After stitching the small Chalk Full Boo I mounted it to a piece of PresOn self adhesive mounting board then hot glued black mini pipping around the edges. I found this super cute vintage jack-o-lantern at Dollar General for $3.50. I love his black and white legs! I made a little bow tie  and added one of the jack-o-lantern bells from Hobby Lobby. Then I hot glued metal washers and magnets to attach the piece. You can watch my FlossTube video here to see it!

Happy Thanksgiving! Wee Gobbler by Heart in Hand

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you are having (or had) a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my readers who visit and also those who take the time to comment on my blog. I appreciate all the love and support! You all have been so wonderful! I am also so very thankful for the cross stitching community online and for FlossTube. I have made so many new friends over the past year. Everyone in the cross stitching community is so positive and supportive. I have been so inspired by all the projects and ideas that are shared which helps me think outside the box with my own projects. I hope to keep sharing videos and blogging to maybe inspire someone else with my own creations. Today I am sharing a very special piece, Wee Gobbler by Heart in Hand. I purchased this chart many years ago. If memory serves me correct, around 16 years ago, but maybe more! I had purchased a design from my local needle shop, Silver Needle, 16 years ago to make a gift for my soon-to-be Mother in Law. I beli...

2020 Spring Stitching

It has been so long since I made a blog post I almost forgot I still had this blog 😄 Today I am sharing all my spring stitching that I have completed so far during 2020. I may do a bit more (I have a couple of WIPs that aren't completed and that drives me crazy) sometime this year, but I am focusing on patriotic designs at the moment. I am already itching to start some fall and Halloween stitching too! Maybe if I stuck to a regular rotation I would cover all the bases 😂 First up is the Hands on Design More Chocolate Bunnies . I have eyed this pattern since it first came out, but when we got a brown Lion Head rabbit last fall I just knew I had stitch this design! I opted to stitch it on a piece of 28ct Monaco I dyed myself with auqamarine RIT dye and a tad bit of coffee. I did a floss toss with all the called for DMC at Michael's at first, then changed up colors as I thought needed to coordinate with my fabric choice. After I started stitching I scratched most the colors and...

Hands on Design Chalk Full Harvest by Priscilla Blain

Harvest Chalk Full by Hands on Design is the first in the Chalk Full series inspired by Priscilla Blain's beautiful seasonal chalkboard drawings from her home.  I am enrolled in the Fat Quarter Shop Chalk Full Club . Each time a new Chalk Full design is released I get a complete package from Fat Quarter Shop to stitch up each piece. The kit includes the chart, fabric and threads. I used the Chalkboard Black 14 ct Aida and called for colors which were included in the kit. I love all the colors that were picked out for this design! I really enjoy stitching all the white outline first and then filling in with the color. I occasionally post progress on my Instagram account as I stitch my Chalk Full pieces. After stitching the design I mounted the piece to the Pres On self adhesive mounting board with a layer of batting in between. Then I hot glued white mini pom pom trim and ruffled homespun fabric from my stash. Priscilla always displays her large Chalk Full pieces on a w...
