I stitched Hello Spring for
Michele. She was my partner for Round 6 in the
Lizzie Kate Exchange. I was searching for something that wasn't winter themed and found this sunny little design.

Hello Spring
Lizzie Kate Freebie 2006
Hand Dyed 28 Ct. Jobelan
DMC Floss |
I hand dyed 28 count Jobelan and used Weeks Dye Works Floss and Sampler Threads. I found the fabric at JoAnn's and thought it matched the colors in the design pretty well. I added some bright green rick rack and sewed it on using purple Mill Hill Beads. I sewed on a bright orange bow and attached it with a heart button.
I am happy that Michele likes it.
This is my second finish for 2011. It is slow going as all of my Crazy Fifteen Challenges are so huge. I still would like to stitch up at least one small Valentine design. Maybe tomorrow.
I am still stitching on Sixteen Birds today and would like to get one more motif finished and complete the band row.

How absolutely cheerful...what did you use to dye the fabric such a lovely shade of yellow!
