I was going to turn this into a layout and I tried, but the pictures were covering too much of the stitching so now I think it just needs to be framed and hung on the wall. Done and done!
STITCHED STATES by Paige Evans
DESCRIPTION: I promise this will be my last stitched heart ;) Now that the kids are older and more self-sufficient during long road trips, I find myself stitching more and more to pass the time! I made this on our trip to IKEA a couple weekends ago - it's supposed to take an hour to get there, which it did, but then on the way back we hit a major stau (traffic jam) and it took three hours... so happy I had this project to calm my nerves.
HOW TO: Download the states heart cut file and then use a pen or pencil in a Silhouette Cameo to draw it (instead of cutting it) onto patterned paper.
Pierce a hole around the states and then backstitch through, changing the color of thread for every state.
SUPPLIES: Patterned paper: Fancy Free by Paige Evans / Pink Paislee; Thread: DMC; Die cut machine: Silhouette Cameo; States heart cut file: Paige Evans
Happy 4th of July weekend and 240th birthday to the good ol' US of A!

ReplyDeletei have left you nice comments on your work several times and you never approve them. I tried again yesterday but although you approved lots of comments here and on instragm mine is not here. I really enjoy your work, you are very talented but I will not comment again because obviously It is just waste my time.
ReplyDeleteSusan - I am so very sorry that I haven't seen your comments! I usually get emails to approve comments but I honestly haven't gotten yours and only saw them just now searching through blogger, pending in a place I'd never seen before. I didn't mean to offend and I truly do appreciate the time you take to write comments!!!
