Ready to Go....

With the close of the school year

my weekly Nana duties have ended

for the summer.

That opens up some time to do

some travelling! 

Of course, that requires

getting some stitching ready
to occupy flight times.

I pulled out two 

Crabapple Hill Studio patterns

to prep the embroidery.

Why not work on Christmas

and some redwork.

"Trim the Tree"

I've threaded a dozen needles, collected

the floss and thimble.

I'm ready

 to head off.

The second piece required some crayon coloring.

The areas you want to tint with crayons

first need to be filled in completely 

with a white crayon

This allows the pigment of the

crayon to fill in the weave of the fabric 

and make the color smoother.

Then have fun with the crayons.

Once the color is filled in

simply iron the piece.

The crayon melts 

giving the colored sections a soft 

"Autumn Calls"

tint of color which will be

enhanced with the embroidery. 

Looks like I'm ready.

June's going to be a busy month. 

Until Next Time-

Kyle
