This is an embroidery of a Virgo design. I think they were vintage patterns, I got them from someone else. I have one other one, my husband's sign, Aquarius. After stitching that on another color of flannel, I'm going to turn them into both sides of a small pillow. The embroidery's about 4 inches across, so it will probably be 1/2 the size of a regular throw pillow. I may add a fabric or ribbon border, I don't know yet.
This one is done on purple flannel (that's what I had) and I love stitching on flannel, it's great, plus it's soft and the ends don't fray. I printed the pattern out and had to use transfer paper to trace it onto the fabric, you can see a little of where my traced line was off in a couple places (like the bottom of her sleeve...)
In other news... :)
I went to our new Jo-Ann's Supercenter. It's freakin HUGE! I only made it through half the store before I had to leave. It just opened two days ago, and there were a million people in there. I love it though. It's bigger than our new Michael's and has a much bigger selection. The best thing is I can even walk there. Michael's used to be w/in walking distance, but they moved over to the "cool part of town" where all these businesses keep popping up, it's still like a minute and a half driving distance, but still. So Best Buy, Target, all kinds of big stores moved out there, so Jo-Anns moves into the old Best Buy building. Yay for me. :)
