I love where you hung it, it is the perfect spot :)<br /><br />My Walmart no longer carries anything remotely related to cross stitch, but still has material, and lots of jewelry making supplies...kinda odd :)<br /><br />Hugs, friend :)Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597559321873073286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-69793001980304004182009-11-18T14:13:11.810-05:002009-11-18T14:13:11.810-05:00Jennifer - What an excellent way of finishing off ...Jennifer - What an excellent way of finishing off this piece. I love the fabric behind the piece exactly for the same reasons you mentioned - kind of a calm within the storm. And I love your creative of fringing the edges and putting it together like that!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-43998799364196616422009-11-18T10:08:47.617-05:002009-11-18T10:08:47.617-05:00Lovely finish Jennifer!!

Our fabric store called Fabricland closed so new homes could be built. Love to go to joanns in the states. I love your new little dog .

Thanks for the compliment. I really di...Hey Sheila!<br />Thanks for the compliment. I really did this one pretty simply.<br /><br />I cut my piece down to a 5 x7 around the design. Then, I pressed it on the underside, with a little steam iron.<br />then, I pressed a piece of fabric that I cut out for 8 x 10 frame.<br />I debated on using or not using the glass but decided to use it.<br />The glass actually holds the piece together so if you want to change in the future to a pillowkeep or something, it will be easily dissassembled.<br />I got a dark wood frame, simple from Walmart 3 bucks.<br />And then I centered the linen over the fabric. One more pressing from the back and placed in the frame.<br />I then worked with it to make sure it stayed centered. Then put the back on and there it is!<br />An alternative way is not to use the glass and then you could attach the linen directly to the fabric or use buttons in the corners.<br />I tend to keep glass over my linen pieces because it stays much cleaner that way, but that's just me.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JenniferJennifer Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827866781697673269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-14523713761078937992009-11-18T09:11:14.953-05:002009-11-18T09:11:14.953-05:00What an adorable finish!

We have 5 here in town and as far as I know , only one of them still has fabric. I usually get mine at the quilt shop or at Jo-Ann's though so it's not a big deal to me. Most bigger towns have a Walmart though, so for folks that have that as their only source, find it difficult I'm sure. I love the "Little Women" pillow too.
