I received my swapped thimbles back last week! :-) I haven't quite decided how to border/sash them, so they are 'stewing' on the design wall for a bit. It seems lots of the swappers liked red! ;-) LOL I am still thinking about making 2 smaller wall hangings and putting them in my sewing room with the shelf that has my thimble collection underneath. Most of my accessories are black, white & red in my sewing room, but with so many red thimbles, maybe red wouldn't be the best choice for borders... ? They are all fused onto the backgrounds with the window cut out behind the thimble. Would you sew around them? I'm thinking it might spoil them~? And honestly, how often will they get washed? I think I'm talking myself into not stitching around them! :-)) If you like peeking into other sewing rooms/design walls, check out Judy L's list of design wall's. :-)
I'm off to complete my backings. My sewing machine has been humming lately!
Hope you are having a 'sewing' good time too! :-)
Until next time,
Happy Stitchin'!

Two wall hangings would probably look nice in your room. And in the hallway to your room. In a powder room... there are many places to put them as a hanging.
Hmmm, I would let them sit for a bit too. Black would be a good border - and depending on how you would put the blks together (in sets of 6) having the background color as a zinger would be a nice way to pull the together. And no, I don't think the have to be matchy/matchy either.....
have fun with this!!
A unique swap!
Your thimbles look awesome! Fancy thimbles! 8-)
Happy stitchings!
Love n them....can't wait to see it all finished.
