July/Aug/Sept ~ LSHC Model FINISHED!

Here is the July/August September 2014

Little Stitches Handwork Club model all finished up!

"Patriotic Fan Pinkeep"

© 2014 L. Brechlin for Notforgotten Farm/LSHC

 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!!!
