Stitch up a little love....


Hey sweet friends!  I'm here to share a little project I made to inspire the needlework of eleven 4-H girls today!  It  all started with a pile of fabric two days ago...

I had a fabulous night cutting and prepping project kits for my 4-H kids while hanging out with some of the craftiest gals in my area, including my dear friend Elise of Mamacow Creations, and etsy seller BeachFleaMarket...Anne has wonderful collage pieces and supplies in her etsy shop so if that's your thing, you gotta check her out.  At the end of the night, I had a pile of goodies to hand out today to me little seamstresses in the making....

Felt, ribbon, lace and handmade pins OH MY!  Plus the cutest little sewing kits in 4-H green!


Fun huh?  I thoroughly enjoyed stitching up this inspiration piece.  The kids always have license to strike out on their own design wise and I am always enchanted and impressed by their individuality as they get their craft on!

These two delightful valentines are Emilly on the left (her mama is Stacey of Motivated Me) and my own Shelby on the right!

And little Mamacow Creations shows off her creative stuff!  She obviously doesn't fall far from the creative tree, huh?

Flowers and yo-yos and corsage pins oh my!  Every now and again, I need to sew something ya know?

Thanks for stopping by!
