Baath thyme and a Banner Tutorial

 This is a wreath I made

using part of a design by

Renee Mullins
You can find Renee at
 Plum Purdy Designs
I first cut out the sheep and painted him

I added a rusty star to his penney rug

and

tied a rusty bell around his neck

with  homespun

I drilled tiny holes in the sheep and

attached him to a small grapevine wreath

I made a banner for the wreath using coffee stained muslin

 I cut out a

banner shape

I stitched it together

adding a piece of

interfacing between layers

THANK YOU 

TO 

Kim Dewalt

Old Road Primitives

for the banner tutorial!
