The FINALE is here . . .

Without any further ado ... the Finale is here ... 

I used ruby red beads around the trim to add some subtle glitter. Hope you approve, I LOVE it.

The second photo is without, take your pick.
(kindly keep in mind that my finish is not a part of the pattern ... just another way to finish "Patriotic Eagle 'n Bunting", available on https://www.etsy.com/shop/villagefolkart)

Now it is time to get on with other stuff ... 

Does vacuuming count as stuff ???

Thanks for taking time to visit. 

They and any comments are always welcome.

Peace and Folk Art Hugs, Barb

The 'Finale' soon to come.

Soon to be done . . .

Before the banner was added,

Now applied to a cotton backed banner, 
instructions for which are
not included in the pattern.  
The Finish is your option.

 I am awaiting some red 8mm glass seed beads to put a touch of sparkle to my "Patriotic Eagle 'n Bunting" design.

I have it hung and displayed from a door of my pie safe. 

This presentation has evolved over several early wakeful mornings dreaming of a different approach for the Finale ... soon to be here.

I always welcome and enjoy your visits and comments,
your time spent visiting is appreciated.

Peace for all with Folk Art Hugs, Barb ..

"PATRIOTIC EAGLE 'N BUNTING" pattern is listed on my Etsy shoppe.

If any one would be interested in my latest  Patriotic Design... 

It is now available on my Etsy Shoppe

https://www.etsy.com/shop/villagefolkart
Hope you like it ... 

the Final finish for me is still in the works.

Today, we are enjoying temps in the upper 90's.
How about you all?
I am keeping cool, INSIDE!

Take Joy and have FUN creating,
Barb

My new patriotic design "LIBERTY"...

I have been recuperating after my 

Bladder surgery on the 17th of April.  
sounds like a good excuse for being AWOL.

Also getting ready to prepare the 

"LIBERTY" 

instructions for tomorrow (I hope),

for my Village Folk Art Shoppe on Etsy.

This one is displayed on my shaker basket

 which is hanging on the side of my pie safe.  

It is another one of my hang tag patterns, 

using french knots for the 13 stars on the flag part

 of the design, various loop lengths 

and seed beads on the strawberry.

Yes ... I am fond of strawberries 
any way I can get 'em ...yummm!

I could not appropriately resist 

dangling 5 small rusty liberty bells from the 

very bottom of this 3" x 6" punched needle piece.

Both DMC and Valdani threads have been used.

 Gots to finish another PN patriotic design

 entitled "PATRIOTIC EAGLE 'n BUNTING".

Hope to have it ready to share tomorrow. 

After spending much time resting and NO cooking, 
I am finally getting my stamina back in gear. 

As always, hope your week is warmer

 and Spring finally has sprung.

Ours has been a little chilly,  very windy and dusty

in the low 70's ... NO rain or snow, 
and we live in the Mojave Desert.

Thanks so much for taking time to visit and post a comment, 
as your time and thoughts are appreciated.

Folk Art Hugs my friends, 

God is good, 
Barb
