Christmas ABC Wall Hanging
|
For this Christmas wall hanging we used the Holly
Berry Alphabet design, a piece of fabric for the embroidery, measuring
about 36" x 22", a piece of batting and backing of the same size, a bias
tape about 120" long, quilt binding about 130" long, a piece of cotton
fabric about 2" x 23" for a sleeve, and a 3/8"-thick wooden rod about 22"
long.
|
|
| Step One: Mark a rectangle measuring 16" x 32" in the center
of the fabric for the embroidery. Make a layout of the ABC designs: there
is a bow with a holly berry in the first row, and there are are 4 letters
in each row, except for the last which has only 2 letters (Y and Z). You
can customize this however you want. Stitch out the letter designs. |
 |
| Step Two: When the embroidery is done, iron the working piece.
Place the backing on an even surface (table), cover with batting and then
cover with the embroidered piece. Pin all 3 layers together and machine-quilt. |
|
| Step Three: Place on an even surface and trim all edges. Stitch
the light green bias tape onto the fabric about 1" from the embroidery. |
|
| Step Four: Finish the raw edges with the quilt binding.
Machine-stitch along the bias tape and the quilt binding with decorative
stitches. |
|
| Step Five: Out of 2" x 23" piece of fabric, make a sleeve. First
finish the short raw edges, then fold the piece long side to long side,
face inside, and machine stitch along the raw edge. Turn the tube inside
out. Slip-stitch the "sleeve" to the back along the upper edge of the wall
hanging. |
|
| Step Six: Insert a rod into the sleeve. The hanging is ready! |
