this time is about autumn colours and our inspiration was a beautiful quilt. I decided that both the colours and the quilt were inspiration for me and it reminded me of doing samplers and cross stitch and patchwork all together. I had photos of the family competing in a cross country event recently and suddenly a light bulb went on; the words cross and country could also be used in craft!!! So my layout, which I have designed to hang, is based on patchwork, using the photographs, samplers, using different stitches and buttons, country feel, with cotton laces and fabrics, and of course the beautiful autumn colours both on the base paper from My Minds Eye and the fabrics. I cheated a little and used an X for the word cross, so it could either be a big cross stitch or a shortcut for the word Cross. I really had fun doing it, even if the machine played up a little doing the stitching. Check out Lets Get Shabby's site for more inspirations!!!
