<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We are far apart physically but near in the heart. I included the alphabet so you can dedicate this to your </span>friend!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a frame that was slightly too big. I cut a piece of mount board and attached antique lace for the background that I had been carrying around for thirty years. You read that right THIRTY YEARS! I just knew it would come in handy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It needed a little extra I felt so I added a bow of walnut stained crinkly oatmeal seam tape. That's a mouthful isn't it? ~W</span><span style="font-size: large;">alnut Stained Crinkly Oatmeal Seam Tape~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> This ended up being the perfect finishing touch.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is a brief pictorial tutorial on finishing the linen part of the first kit of my Stitchy Love Club ~ Be Happy Drumroll.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I go over the linen piece because that is the most unusual part of this finish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> After you have folded under the top part make sure to trim your ends as shown here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--UaGEjhJgUI/Wt-ObmGBJhI/AAAAAAAACVU/ejiY5rYzn3M2_GJefnLue_YgORREnrjxACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--UaGEjhJgUI/Wt-ObmGBJhI/AAAAAAAACVU/ejiY5rYzn3M2_GJefnLue_YgORREnrjxACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0677.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what the back of your linen piece will look like after you have trimmed it up and folded the edges in.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The front should look like this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Attach the ribbon here folding in the ends to fit in between the sides of the folded linen pieces. I ended up gluing and using a tiny pin to secure my ribbon. The ribbon is not folded up the entire length, just here to fit.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will start by pinning the linen to the drum. I started by pinning right at the top of the border then the point and put a pin between those two.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IIh4UBgDszw/Wt-OccB6UPI/AAAAAAAACVk/WJMQQ6Nb_nITNeAxqBkMqtfrUogKGQwDQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0698.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IIh4UBgDszw/Wt-OccB6UPI/AAAAAAAACVk/WJMQQ6Nb_nITNeAxqBkMqtfrUogKGQwDQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0698.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Close up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After you have pinned the linen down go ahead and tie it in the back. Make sure the knot of the bow is at the seam allowance for balance. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A last note, I started stuffing the drum with poly-fill then inserted a bag filled with crushed walnut shells for weight. I did this because if I had stuffed it with the walnut filler only it would have shown through the white fabric.</span></div>

She sent it to me.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course it is double sided because what is a gift tag if there isn't a TO and a FROM?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved the idea of old fashioned names. Gertrude is one of my favorites. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, Becky! you may be thinking, my name isn't Polly and I haven't known anyone named Gertrude for at least a hundred years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did actually think of that (MIRACLE) so I have a sheet in the chart that has the To and the From plus the flower but the rest of it is blank so you can chart your names! Additional miracles occurred and I remembered to put in the entire alphabet upper and lower case.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When finishing the project it looked a little plain so I added huge rick rack under the linen piece and it really jazzed it up. A piece of crinkled black seam tape threads through the hole at the top and is a cute hanger for your tag.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had a wonderful class I taught last year. Queen Chicky & The Speckled Egg. Sounds like the title to a great mystery doesn't it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was no mystery that everyone had a great time though!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am now offering it in chart form with detailed instructions on how to put it all together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will need a nesting chicken from the Indiana Class Company.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The scissors are Putford from Kelmscott Designs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a funny story for you from one of the chicken classes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the students was stitching the middle part of the nest and her husband walked up to see what she was doing. He asked her why the word Hell was right next to the chicken. It says Hen!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I about died laughing.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a new class I am so excited to tell you about! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Tea Box </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who doesn't love tea? I do! I grew up in England and learned from a young age the joys of Tea. Thristy? Make Tea. Four O' Clock? Make Tea. Guests coming over? Make Tea. Crisis happening? Make Tea. My mom was told by her British friends that I made a perfect British citizen when there was a motorcycle accident in front of our house and I started running to the kitchen hollering "I'll make the tea!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tea & Honey, what a perfect combination. Tea grows on trees and was discovered in China thousands of years ago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here we have a potted tea plant that grows tea bags, how convenient!</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've decided that I love clubbing. The club life is the life for me! Now, I'm not talking about the going out and tying one on and dance all night club. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm talking about the receiving four spooky cross stitch kits a year club.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, the scary stitching ideas that are whirling through my Halloween Brain day and night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVE HALLOWEEN.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I BET YOU DO TOO.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love it so much I got married on Halloween. That is dedication if I do say so myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first kit will come out in March of this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sign up and stitch Halloween all year long!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have a tombstone series in the works with two designs so far! April Taylor from Homestead Needleworke designed the boards for me and they are available in her etsy store.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey! I will be teaching a finishing class at Notforgotten Farm on June 10th!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This project was so much fun to design and finish up. I love chickens, I found this antique chicken and lightening struck my brain!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was what I was looking for all my life. Ok, not all of it. BUT, I started hyperventilating in the store and I knew it was meant to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All the chickens used for the class are antiques from the Indian Glass Company.</span></div>

We are finally moving after ten long months of being semi homeless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our property got hit by a tornado and we had to move out and ended up staying in our friends spare bedroom. All our stuff is in storage but we were safe and No Kitty and Bubbles got all situated with our friends dog and are now inseparable. Ok, Bubbles and Chris are inseparable, they can do without the cat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been conducting my business out of a few totes and a dining room table for most of the past year. It has been a challenge for all of us! My friend is a saint, I swear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing we found out is we love living together and we are going to sign on our new place this coming Saturday! YAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am looking forward to unpacking all my stuff and settling in again to my own place. I will have a new sewing room! YIPPEE! And it has a fireplace! I will post before and after photos of the new digs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some photos of my old sewing room, my old old dining room and some things that inspire me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh! And a peek at a new design coming out soon!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today is a No Kitty snuggle day. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Been working very, very hard to get ready for a string of live and in color shows I have coming up. I have some listed on the side bar over there. I'm waiting on confirmation on some others before I put them up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wore out doesn't begin to describe it. I think No Kitty has a good plan today. Rest, drink tea and binge watch Dexter on Netflix.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be back up and at it tomorrow!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sharp scissors.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and a thimble. I forgot about it till the end when I realized I didn't want to puncture my finger. Imagine that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Insert your needle at the top of the strawberry to one side of the seam. I am using my right hand so it is at the left of the seam. I'm taking pictures with my right hand and holding the berry with my left. Confusing enough yet? I try.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Depending on how big you want your X's go down some and put your needle in the fabric about 1/8 to 1/4 away from the seam and out the other side the same amount. Pull the thread through.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bring your needle back up and put it in the fabric lining it up with where you started and coming out a smidge below where the thread is coming out of the strawberry.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Using the upper last stitch as your guide to put your needle in, it keeps your stitches looking even.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It goes pretty quickly once you get your rhythm. I can't decide which season of X-Files is my favorite. I own all of them on DVD and know all the episodes by title which scares my husband for some reason.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made my stitches big, sometimes I make them little.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Getting towards the bottom. Keep going the same way until the last stitch. It changes then. Tooms is my favorite episode in season one.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is where it changes. At the end go further down below the thread nearer the tip of the berry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now when you go back up and put your needle in the bottom of the last stitch bring it out to the side of the last stitch as shown.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Put the needle in the berry horizontal to where the other side of the stitch is. Hope that makes sense. If not the picture should.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Bring your needle out at the end of the berry. Now you are going to begin to end the thread.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I try to be in step with the seasons.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Really, I do. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My brain tends to argue with me in the middle of the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It whispers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Brain: "Hey, I have a really neat idea for a flag deal."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Me: "It's time to start designing for Halloween, the 4th of July is past."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Brain: "So."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Me: "Dude, you don't understand how this works. People expect certain things at appropriate times."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Brain: "When have you ever been appropriate?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Me: "You have a point there."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bird and Arrow</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is one of my personal favorites!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It was fun to design and a blast to stitch. I put the heart key around the birds neck as a tribute to my dad who was retiring from being a locksmith that year. Just a small thing only I would know, but now you do too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I had a request to do a witch cross stitch design.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The thought of doing a portrait of a witch with the word Mother underneath it cracked me up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She has a couple of grey hairs too. Along with some bad green makeup. I love her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I went and found a suitable ratty frame at Hobby Lobby before I even started the design.</span></div>
