Here we go again!

Hiya!!  Mary is completed, and now the decision making begins, as usual.  Where will she hang?  She will fit perfectly in an 8" x 20" frame but I'm thinking ..... no.  I like her in these positions and a frame wouldn't work.  On the door of the recently made large cupboard..... 

 on the side of the same piece which is more visible from other rooms.

 

  And another place that doesn't make sense and I've never seen before, on the front of an open cupboard.  Several walls work well too, mixed in with other samplers.  But her colors match the new cupboard, and the blue basket on top of the hutch.

 I didn't hem this sampler at all, just used my fingernail to follow a linen thread while pressing with the other finger.  Linen folds and finger presses perfectly.  After that, I pressed with the iron and there was no need for hemming.

 Because of the length and lack of width, it was rolling somewhat to the center and the edges wouldn't lay flat.  So I rolled my pressing cloth and centered it beneath the sampler.  Not touching the linen, I just allowed the steam from the iron to penetrate and that did the trick. She will be moved over and over and I'm just using push pins which enter the wood easily and no marks can be detected because of the wood's distressed finish.

The ground is soaked but the sun is appearing now and I need to blow leaves again - it takes hours to do the entire yard.  Love my Little Wonder!!    I'll leave you with a few shots of the culprits.  The red on one tree is amazing, and you can see the front yard has red, orange, yellow, and another still green. 

 Off I go.  I may be back tomorrow with the new project and another little box set for your opinion.  I'm surprised that many of you like #3 - I thought the favorite would be #1.  I checked with the store again and they have no idea what the problem is, but they aren't getting boxes of any size.  Yikes.

I received an email from Françoise and she sent me a photo of my free chart that she did in a variegated thread - thank you Françoise!!

Another email asked about the first pear design.  You can find them all by clicking on "freebie" under the Labels in the right hand column.

Thank you for visiting - have a great weekend - stay safe!
