I swear my MIL is trying to kill me with these Christmas cards! I've been turning them into wall hangings so that we can have them all on display every year. I posted about it HERE
So here is this year's card. What on earth was I going to do with this one?!
After realising that I only had red scraps left I decided that the card had to join this set.
I usually square up the cards, add borders and then sew the backing on with the fabrics right side together leaving a gap to turn the whole thing the right way round. This card wasn't square! And it had a photograph so if I turned it through the photo would crumple. I had to really think about this one! I decided the best way to do it would be to make it up as planned but without the card part which I then stitched on later. It's not the neatest but it's done!
It was hot and I stabbed my finger hence the blood and sweat. I needed the wine afterwards! I am going to be having stern words with my MIL later!
And here's a photo of my trio of beautiful greys! My foster, Fluff, is going back to GAP for adoption next week. She is a fantastic dog, very cuddly and affectionate with enough mischief in her to not be boring (as a teacher once described my boys!) and we're going to miss her. I wanted to keep her and return my husband instead but GAP wouldn't have him.
