"Patriotic Fan Pinkeep"

I wanted to do something a little different,
...but useful for this quarter's club project ~
I love how it turned out ~
what do you think??
 |
| back is covered in red plaid wool |
the model is stitched onto my 30ct hand dyed Old Farmhouse Linen
using 1 strand of floss over 2 threads of linen (15ct)
the finished size of this project measures approx:
6-3/4" x 5-1/4"
 |
| I added new & old white headed pins along the top of the fan's edge… some larger than others ;) |
I also added a little thread ring to the bottom
...and tied on a scrap of old ribbon ~
 |
| "...i can hold your pins & threads too!" |
~ the flag/heart represents our love for our country
~ the vines represent longevity
~ the berries represent abundance
~ and the crown represents freedom of religion
 |
| sew sweet |
Oh, and it also serves the purpose of actually being used as a little fan ~
you know,
when those 'power surges' (hot flashes) strike!!!
