Witches Stitches – Just Some Pictures

I have to say I am sorry, but I am so far behind in my work due to the snow and ice storm we had last Friday, (can’t put any of the dyed fabric out to dry), that all I have this week is pictures of the paper swag with flowers on it I told you I was making for my fireplace mantel last week. . I printed it on craft card stock so it would have a muted look to match my living room.  

Next week I will show you how to make a quick and wonderful looking little mini prairie doll just the right size for a doll house. You can put them on a swag cinnamon sticks and they look great!

Let's shake the winter blues off and start to create. Here are some patterns available for all of you crafters and sewers from the wonderful Etsy shops. 



You always need coaster for your drinks to sit on your tables and natalya1905 has a pattern for just that and these are made with pretty spring colors.
