Major Gift

 A Gift for Major!

Well I couldn't leave my Grandson out.  Even though he is only 4 months old and could probably care less I had to make him a garland also.  His mother and I sat down in front of the computer and picked out the backing fabric as our inspiration.  So I guess his room is going to have an "alien influence". 

There are 21 of these felt pieces.  All hand stitched and with handmade buttons.  The buttons are made from clay.  Mom said they look like candy so I hope little Major doesn't try to eat them! 

The back said has this cute flannel alien fabric on it.  Yes it is out of this world! Hope it doesn't scare him.

The close up shows the buttons better and also the Estaz thread.  I love this thread!  It is so darn cute on this.  It comes in lots of colors.  I have used orange and lime green on this garland.  On Roxy's I used the white. 

Not such a great picture but here it shows that I fringed the tie and beaded it.  I used pearl cotton in a variegated turquoise and lime.  I hope Major will love it when he gets older.  I know his momma does. 

Well I guess it is time to start a new project! Woo Hoo!
