I love prims and antiques and love it even better when I can find a way to add cross stitch to the pieces I find. While antiquing awhile back I found this wonderful glass washboard. I looked through my designs and thought I'd use the bottom motifs from my
"Love for Labors All" design. Changed up the colors and added a date....
Mounted and laced it onto some cardboard with batting and popped it in the top of the washboard. Trimmed it with my stained vintage chenille around the edge.
This was fun and my first time doing this finish. I'll be on the lookout for more washboards when I'm out junking with my buddies:)
Hope you have had a creative day my friends!

I've been seeing these done up with punch needle designs ~ I love the way yours turned out with the cross stitched piece! So creative you are!
