Floss Tag Received
Our latest exchange was a Floss Tag. Here is the tag that I received from Rochelle @ Blue Cornflower Stitches.
She chose designs from Cross Stitch Happy .
Rochelle stitched an absolutely beautiful dragonfly in blues and greens embellished with beads (oh, how I love beads!) The beads make the dragonfly sparkle just like a real one!
On the reverse is -
You wouldn’t believe this was her first attempt at a floss tag AND an octagonal shape. She did a marvelous job! She cleverly chose ribbon instead of an eyelet to attach the ring.
I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful "stitchin' friend" and am anxious to put the gold needles and pearl cotton that she sent to use in the near future.
Floss Tag Sent
Here is the floss tag that I sent to Pokua @ Crossed Yarns .
This was my first floss tag attempt and hope to do better with the eyelet attachment next time.
Take a look at Pakua's web site - her pictures are much better than mine.
I chose Flower Sampler 2008 from Rosewood Manor’s "Something Old Something New 10th Anniversary Book of Celebration" using 28 ct linen, stitched 1 over 1 with DMC cotton floss. I personalized the tag with the year, our initials, and TTE.
This shape and the addition of the eyelet was a challenge! I love trying new and different things, don't you?
