I have always loved a 3D frame and try to create a sampler each time there is a new catalogue. The Needlepoint Nook suite lent itself to this quite easily.
A friend gave me a stash of goodies from a well loved sewing room which included these gorgeous thread wheels and lots of tiny timber spools of cotton, I have had some in a jar as part of my kitchen decor but moved them to this new home. Included in the stash was a beautiful button which inspired the handmade birdsnest in both frames I have made using the Cathedral Window style.
There are a few squares using the embroidery panel from the thinlits, some fussy cut floral embroidered flowers, and a few things I love.
It is based on the Cathedral Window quilt pattern and the circles of DSP are all Mossy Meadow, punched using a 2" punch, the squares are 1 3/8" and they are all raised on either a single or double layer of dimensionals or thick card.
I've used all the Needlepoint Nook buttons, lots of coordinating ribbon, the old olive linen thread, copper stickers, copper ribbon, and just a general stash of lovelies.
It was quite difficult to hang straight!! as part of my display board.
The little copper sticker butterfly is popped up on some wire.
A bit fiddly but very satisfying.
But most importantly, I hope you take inspiration from the central message and go post a handmade paper hug to someone you love today.
I still have a few more projects to post to add to my Needlepoint Nook Pinterest board, so be sure to subscribe to my follow me by email link
