More Pictures

I decided that this little freebie was just too cute not to do. So after rummaging through my stash I found some lavendar fabric to do it on. I debated about adding a tassel to the bottom but the one that I made seemed too thick and overwhelming for the project. So, instead of putting one on which would not only detract from the piece but make the piece far more interesting to my kitties I opted not to include it. After putting my name and date on the back piece, I noticed that it was not on the diagonal like my pattern. I fiddled around trying to get the letters to look good on the diagonal and was not at all pleased, so I opted to keep them as they were.

I finally got a picture of the finished Be Scary from my mother. I finished it off as a flatfold with a tricolor cording. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I'm sorry that I don't have a picture showing the backing fabric, but I had to wait a month to get this one, LOL. I'm now working on finishing a freebie pattern from Shepherd's Bush into a flatfold. It was the nativity pattern. Although the pattern was free, the buttons cost $18, yikes! I did this one on foglifter colored fabric. Although it looks nice with the pattern, I'm finding it difficult to pick a fabric to finish off the back. The Christmas reds and greens just didn't look right, so I've chosen a mottled gray fabric. The next little dilema is what colored cording to use. I found a black cording with some silver beading in it. I'm not quite sure though. I was wondering about maybe a bit of a charm up top but there is already the star and and angel made out of beads. I may just have to stick with a simple cording. I had originally intended to frame this with a creche shaped frame made from old barn wood. I haven't obtained any barnwood and I found that I really didn't have a lot of fabric on the bottom end, so I'm going with the flat fold idea. I'll post a picture when I get it done. Have a great weekend!
