Here's my Seasonal House exchange that I stitched for Judith. Judith chose an Autumn themed home and this is what I picked for her: 
Prairie Seasons - Autumn Cottage - Book #9
Prairie Seasons - Autumn Cottage - Book #9Fiber: DMC (my own colorway)
Fabric: my very own hand-stained 28 ct. evenweave
Finished as: a flatfold

Back viewI was happy to stitch something for Judith because she stitched for me on two different exchanges....so it was definitely my turn to return the favor. I believe that Judith liked what I stitched for her :) I am definitely putting this on my list to do for myself in exactly the same way. I love flatfolds...especially seasonal one, this way you can display them easily and then store them easily until the season returns. Yep, this one dear friends is on my list for me to stitch up soon!
Well I've been stitching away still, but alas nothing else to show you yet! I've had to work the last 2 weekends, so my weeks fly by and then my weekend to work is here too soon :(
I have to work one more weekend and then I'll have one off! Hurray! The summer is flying by....my kids have about 4 weeks of summer vacation left and then it will be back to school. Hum....then its back to a crazy schedule once again.
Hope you all are doing fabulous, and that you are having a great weekend. I wish you all well and hope that the upcoming week is filled with light and laughter :) Until next time.....
What a sweet exchange! The backing fabric you chose is perfect for the design - nice work all round :)
ReplyDeleteHi Vonna! Not sure if I've ever commented on your blog before, but have been reading for a long time, so either way it's high time I commented LOL. Love your PS house! I did a modified version of this for my NRR because it so closely resembles my own house. Love how you finished it, I need to become brave and give that a try myself!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! I love the backing fabric you used:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic exchange piece! I love flatfold finishing too!
ReplyDeleteLovely piece Vonna! You are a stitching and finishing power house! :D

Wonderful ! I love the colors !!
ReplyDeleteOur kids start vacation at the end of this week. They only have 6 weeks. It hasn't really dawned on me that they'll soon all be home all day ... Yikes! LOL. Just joking. We usually have a lot of fun during holidays.
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE that seasonal exchange! You did a GREAT job!!
YOur Flat fold looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Don't you love the Prairie Schooler seasonal houses? I love the way you dyed your fabric, and I think it's perfect for this design. I know your friend will enjoy it very much.

A lovely finish--as always, Vonna!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely flat-fold Vonna, congratulations
ReplyDeleteLove that flad fold Vonna. It is the next thing on my list to learn how to do. I already have a pattern stitched and a recipient for it...I just have to get around to getting instructions on flat fold finishing...I think Dani knows how to so it and she's going to be here this week....hmmmm do I see a lesson in my future?
ReplyDeleteI also love the little drawstring bag...both the design on it and the bag itself.
That turned out wonderfully. What a fun design, and your fabric and finish set it off perfectly. I can see why you'd want one for yourself.

It is just gorgeous in real life and also the fabric is beautifull. Yes I am very happy with it.
ReplyDeleteCute finish! No wonder you want to make another to keep for yourself. :o)
ReplyDeleteI just love your little Autumn Cottage!! Your stitching is fantastic as are your finishing. It is ever so cute! Debby :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely flatfold! I'm glad Judith liked it! Well, how could seh not :) ?
ReplyDeleteYour Autumn Cottage is so cute! What a lovely gift for Judith. I love the look of the flat folds too but I haven't gotten brave enough to try it yet. Oh well, someday....

ReplyDeleteLove it! Great job Vonna...now I want to stitch that as well!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I love how the flatfolds turn out, I am definitely going to have to try my hand at one! Congrats on a great exchange!

ReplyDeleteGreat flatfold. Love the fabric, matches beautifully. Do you have "easy" instructions on how to make them ?
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable pattern and what a lovely finish Vonna. A wonderful gift for Judith.
ReplyDeleteIt's SO beautiful, what a wonderful exchange! Your finishing is perfect of course and the materials you've chosen are so beautiful. Great job :)
