fccs's 2014 little guys

I decided to start a separate thread for my "little guys" and here's my first. Thanks to the Stitch from Stash challenge, I dug this one out and started it on February 25th and finished it today. I bought the kit for this in May 2010 in Skagway, Alaska (the forget-me-not is the state flower). I switched out the fabric to this pale lilac aida (even though it doesn't really look lilac in the picture).

I bought a forget me not in Scagway also. But longer ago than 2010. Mine is smaller I think. I think it is stitched but not finished, might have been planning a fridge magnet. I'll see if I can find it.

I really only do minis. I love yours. Do you have a plan for it? I make lots of greeting cards with mine.

It's about 5 inches long so I'm thinking about framing it in an oval frame. Since it's a souvenir from my Alaska cruise, I want to keep it.

I'm hoping to make some other small guys for cards; do you make your own cards out of cardstock or do you buy the premade cards? I did one card that came with a magazine and it's a three fold card, which I really like. I'm hoping to find those somewhere (I've not really looked yet).

I made cards for the first time this year for a few birthdays and for Christmas cards. I found that the packs of cards at 123Stitch and Nordic Needle had the most variety and were the least expensive. Also came with a booklet filled with Hardanger Designs (though I didn't use any and found the instructions much less clear than Mabel's). I plan to do more of these in the future. They were all three fold cards and easy to use.

They are indeed the same flower. (I have to be honest...I had to Google it to find out.

)

it Debby, such cute little faces looking out. They will make a beautiful picture to hang in commemoration of your visit to Alaska.

So very pretty. I'm beginning to really like florals and have a few freebies I found on pinterest I want to do.

That is really cool! do they grow bigger in Alaska? I bet they do! as I always tell to my DH everything is bigger in that continent, especially car and food portion!

The flower is the same size, but you're totally spot on ref our supersized food portions and vehicles.
