Here is a possible project with the Seasons
of the Year Set.
Of course, each picture can be framed separately, or together, as you
can see on the photo below...

We made a wall hanging using all 4 pictures. It is supposed to imitate
stained glass. |
|
| Step One: Embroider each picture separately. We used Timtex
Interfacing without stabilizer. Then, draw fields around each picture and
cut away the excess fabric. Make sure that the outer field is twice wider
than the inner field, like in the diagram below. |
|
| Step Two: Place the pictures together and connect using wide
zigzag stitch. This is marked in red in the diagram below. |
|
| Step Three: Cover the fields with fusible web and iron it on.
Cover the web with strips of black fabric and iron those on. Do first the
horizonal strips, then the vertical ones. |
|
| Step Four: Cut out a lining. Place the embroidered part and
the lining together, face to face and machine-stitch along three edges,
leaving the upper edge unfinished. Turn the working piece right side out.
Press. Finish the upper raw edge. |
| Step Five: Cut a strip out of the same fabric as the lining,
measuring 4" wide and as long as the upper edge of the wallhanging. Stitch
together the long edges of the strip to form a sleeve. Turn the sleeve
right side out; press flat. Pin the sleeve to the back of the wallhanging
close to the upper edge. Blindstitch to wallhanging along the top and bottom
edges. Insert a rod. |
|
| Tie a piece of cord with tassels to the ends of the rod. |

We hope you like our April club designs and come up with
many of your own ideas. Enjoy!
