| Brynwood Needleworks - Needlepunch Sunflower by Michelle Palmer |
Isn't this a lovely piece? It was designed and executed by my lovely, talented friend, Michelle Palmer. I've had it since we lived in Florida, but I haven't been able to decide how I want to finish it. It's round, so should it be a cushion? Should I frame it? Something else? I just can't make up my mind. I'm sharing it with you today, because it's on my To Do List.
Next weekend will be a Birthday celebration for my twin nieces. They'll be five years old...already! I made dresses for them last year (See this post. They're still a hit, and worn often), so I'm trying to decide what I should make for them this year.
Perhaps they'd like their very own handbags, or little lap quilts? Eeek. I guess I'd better make up my mind soon. They need to be finished in time for the party on Sunday. Whatever it is will be well-underway When I see you again on Wednesday. Tag will post tomorrow. (Ideas appreciated!) Toodle loo for now.
This sunflower would be beautiful on the turtle stool! A coloring bag for the birthday girls. With a pocket for crayons and insert a color book. That’s my idea!
ReplyDeleteHi, Charlene:
DeleteThat would be a great idea, except the turtle is too small for this piece. Maybe on top of a different one, though? hmmm I'll have to think on that.
I love those little craft pockets! That could be a grand idea. Thank you!

The Sunflower is beautiful & would make a great cushion just to put over the back of a chair, etc. Or put ties on it for the back of a chair.
ReplyDeleteLittle girls DO like purses. You could make each a purse & put some goodies inside.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI hope you're not getting as much snow over in your neck of the woods. We're going to get snow all night again. Is it Spring yet? lol
I'm partial to the cushion idea. It's so beautiful that I want to have it where I can see it all the time. On the back of a favorite chair might be perfect.
Thanks for the idea! Stay warm.

Perhaps purses with wee dollies inside?
ReplyDeleteI love the sunflower! I don't think I would want to use it in a way that would involve it getting any wear and tear and I think I would frame it if it were mine.
Hi MA:
DeleteI'm going to have to make a decision soon. It'll be party time before I know it.
Framing the piece would certainly protect it, and also make it easy to display it where I could see it all the time. So many great ideas. How will I ever decide?
Thanks!!

I made Rory Lou a little diaper bag for her dollies that she has loved. I got some children's diaper bag items on amazon that were delivered quickly and filled it up. I believe the pattern was a free one offered up on the net. I don't have access to my patterns at the moment. I used some 30's repro prints for it and it turned out so cute. Sewed up quickly too.
