A Stitch for a School Art Fundraiser

I donated this stitch that I made for my little guy's school Art Fundraiser Auction today.  I think it turned out perfect for someone to buy for a teacher, counselor, aide or even the Principal!
I bought the frame at HobLob for 1/2 off.  Then I got on Word and used the Curlz font to design the stitch.  I taped the printout of the words on my window {my old fashioned light box} to transfer it onto muslin fabric.  You can do that with any font or design.
I didn't take any pictures while I was making the bow for a little tutorial.  Believe me, I will be making more of those because I really love how it turned out.  {I attached it to the outside of the frame, I also hot glued the ribbon to the top of the stitch}
Sorry, I had to block out his schools name...I know that you would understand.  It really is sooo cute in real life.  I hope it goes for big bucks!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter Weekend!  We did!

  3. Great idea! We're having our school carnival soon and we can auction off items like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
