fccs’s 2019 little guys

Post by fccs »

Here is my second Stand for Freedom by Glendon Place. This one’s a gift. I finished it yesterday and immediately took it to Hobby Lobby for framing. It will have a red frame with no mat.

And here’s a closeup to show the sparkly fabric (32 count raw gold linen), and a little of the sparkly stars (stitched with the new DMC Etoile - love it).

I love it Debby and th words are great too. What unusual fabric that is that you have stitched on. It really sets it off nicely :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

Beautifully stitched and what a great choice of fabric, perfectly complemented by the Etoile!

I finished the poem that goes with the Statue of Liberty. Both are at Hobby Lobby being framed. I made a slight change: the chart had the poet’s name below the poem and background, in the same style and size as the rest of the lettering. I decided I wanted her name smaller and in the background part of the design.

That is a beautiful project, and I think it was a good call to redesign the name as part of that background motif :applesauce: :applesauce:

A fitting tribute to go with the earlier part of it and they will look fantastic hanging there together. Well Done Debby. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

I picked these up from the framer (Hobby Lobby) during the Forum’s “dark ages”
