Hummingbird Floral *start to finish*pic heavy*

Post by calico »

Sorry I'm flooding the SAL this morning with my projects but I was busy last weekend with my sewing machine.
I had stitched up this little Hummingbird Floral last spring and finally turned it into a little wall hanging. I tried to look for the SAL on it and realized I never made one so here it is from start to finish. This was a little 'Cross-stitching for Dummies' kit.

Thank you! There just so happens to be a Hobby Lobby near my daughters house. I had never heard of it before but when we went to visit her it was just up the street. She lives an hour and a half away so its not convenient for daily stuff but I am going to have to go up and visit really soon!
