Frameable Art | Spellbinders September 2024 Stitching Club

WOW, WOW, WOW! I LOVE Spellbinder’s September Stitching Die of the Month Kit! This sunflower is so gorgeous that I decided to make a 4 x 6″ framed art piece for my guest bedroom. I have all the details below.

Stitched Sunflower Art | Tips and Tricks

• I started by die cutting my Stitching Kit pieces with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine. This month’s kit has 15 dies. I die cut the flower petals and brown center twice and glued them together for easier stitching.
• Spellbinders has a nice selection of stitching accessories in their shop that you can find HERE. Today, I used metallic gold floss on the center and 3 shades of DMC floss for the flower. I have been buying and collecting floss for decades, so some of these are vintage.
• When I started stitching, I took two strands of floss, separated them one at a time, brought them together and then stroked and lengthened them until they seemed tame and ready to use.
• I usually stitch with size 22 Tapestry needles.
• I used thin double sided tape to secure my floss to the die cuts. I like that this tape is easy to hide behind the die cuts and I don’t even bother to take the top release paper off the tape.
• Remember to keep your floss taught as you stitch.
• When I move from one area to the next, I run the floss through the just finished stitched area to keep the thread secure. This gives a nice look on the finished project.
• Don’t stitch with threads that are too long or they are likely to knot. 
• When I was done, I added a bit of Bearly Glue to the ends so that they would stay in place.
• I assembled my piece with Bearly Glue and foam squares.
• Last, I popped my sunflower in a 4″ x 6″ frame and set it on the bedside table.
