It’s State Fair time in Minnesota and that’s all you hear about there, so why not make it our theme this week. Many of us have always wanted to enter something in the fair’s creative activities competitions. Who knows maybe we’ll earn a blue ribbon on Iron Craft for Dollar Store Crafts?!

Melinda Hileman’s Submission: Embroidery and Needlepunch
Melinda purchased the embroidery pattern by Sarah Jane at Mama Said Sew in Fort Collins, CO. It can be transferred 7 times (Less than $1 per project isn’t bad!) It’s based on the song by Bob Marley. She fused together both layers of one of her hubby’s t-shirts that had holes in it for the canvas. Since she had never done bullion stitches, let alone in a circle, she’s proud of what she accomplished. The frame is from Dollar Tree. Total cost: $2 + DMC floss on hand The punch needle came from a Dimensions kit. It was her first time doing needle punch, so Melinda is glad it turned out so well. It includes her favorite color combination and one of her favorite animals! |
