I had so much stinkin' fun sewing last night and this morning!! I couldn't wait to show Ms.Betsy all finished up in a table runner.....
Betsy by Sheepish Designs can be found at Em-Li's...
Mind you, I knew I wanted to use that red striped ticking looking fabric by Waverly that I had found in a mark-down bin...Its a little heavier than quilting fabric...Not a canvas, but somewhere between the two....And, yes, I have lots left over to make up some project pouches~~...Anywho, I thought the colors came together nicely....
Being the bargin hunter that I am, I also located this simple patterned fat-eighth piece of blue in the fifty cent bin...Didn't want to use anything too awfully busy....Can't be distracting from the main attraction...Ms Betsy!!
The creme wool has a waffle textured pattern to it...simple, but better than just plain...
The backing is the same pretty reddish stripe...I like it because its not an eye-ball popping red...Faded somewhat and just perfect for the colors in the cross stitch........
Like us, Betsy sewed and stitched.....not knowing the history she was making.... Will any of your creations be collectibles one day?? Bet they will be~~~
I am heading back home soon and have been so blessed to have been here at Cherry Grove Beach SC for my intercession from school....While our condo offers a welcome respite, there's no place like my house in NC and my craftroom that awaits me.... Soon, back to the work routine, the after-school tutoring and my wonderful customers who have been patiently waiting on their finishes and project pouches.... Its just my passion to create.....
I will leave you with a few parting shots of the corner of my craftroom that I call the Patriotic corner... Left up all year, it offers me inspiration and I just know MsBetsy will find her place comfortably there.....
Have a great weekend everyone....!

Very cool Faye! Such a creative finish for Betsy. I like your patriotic tree - I have July scheduled out for Patriotic Stitching!

Betsy looks awesome...I have been trying to avoid chasing after more charts since I have so many sitting in my stash bin, but I will definitely have to look for Betsy, she is beautiful! I look forward to seeing your patriotic finishes each year, although that means we must be getting close to summer (yuk).

Your intercession from school was certainly a stitching retreat! So much nicer than the snow days of last year, wasn't it? I know you loved every minute, getting so much accomplished. Look forward to seeing how you work Ms. Betsy into your patriotic corner! Safe traveling!

Love your Betsy table runner. Red ticking is one of my favorite fabrics...reminds me of my grandmother...she had red ticking bench covers for her picnic table and she used them every year for her 4th of July picnic.
Oh my goodness! Everything looks wonderful!
