I have finally finish-finished my first quick-stitch piece from the previous weekend. As a refresher, it was Tanya's Prim Friends Gather design. I decided to make it into a floss tag. In fact, I had never heard of a floss tag or seen one since before blogging in October. Now, here I am ~ waiting to stitch up a ton of those little thingies. I got to use my Crop-A-Dile for the first time too and I was really excited about using it.
As of today, here is my finished "prim" piece without the floss attached. Check out my brass eyelets ~ first time too. :-)+finished.1.jpg)

When I saw this red toile fabric at Michael's I had to get it. I instantly thought of my Prim Friends Gather piece I had stitched and thought it would compliment the fabric. Even though the lady is alone, she is plucking fruit from the tree to "gather" for a feast, I bet! I also choose this fabric because of its depiction of life once primitive. If you could see the rest of the fabric...ummmm; it is just gorgeous...and surprisingly so - it did come from Michael's. (I still need to go to a quilt/fabric store. Grrrrrrrr)
Lastly, here is the completely finished Prim Friends Gather with floss attached. I am quite proud of this piece too. I was really happy with my whip stitch and that I was able to make all four corners neat and round...and I was really pleased!+finished.1.jpg)

Great job on the floss tag Julie.
I tried one and it didn't look good but I think maybe the eyelets were not deep enough.
I adore toile fabric. The fabric you found for the back of your tag is very pretty.
