There! All done

There! All done. What do you think of my self-designed "frame"? It was actually an after-thought as I found the original design too small. However, now that the frame has been added, I have a sickening suspicion I may have pushed my luck too far! I can only keep my fingers crossed the seam allowance is enough when I make the tag. YES! My FIRST floss ring tag! I wonder when my sis-in-law is planning her trip down here???

... and there's more! I also managed to complete this piece. It turned out much bigger than expected so I've not really thought about the finishing yet. Any suggestions?

Keeping my word

As you can see, I'm eager to get one or two pieces of smalls done (as tags for floss rings) before my sister-in-law's next visit. We plan to test out the eyelet puncher together. The design's adapted from The Big Book of Beautiful Flowers by Good Natured Girls. I did not stick to the recommended colours as I am trying to use up the odds and ends from previous sewing projects. The stitching is almost done except for the butterfly. Because of the size, working on it is a breeze.
