A Bernina Garden Flag

Mea Bernina issued a challenge using their red canvas. The store provided you with 1/2 yard of the fabric and asked you to use it to create whatever you wanted.  I had been stitching Christmas garden flags for friends and family for gifts.  So I immediately knew what I would make for the challenge. Using the red canvas was a bit of a challenge because it is so flimsy and does not hold it shape well.  So several applications of Terial Magic made the material more stable and stiff but the color does bleed. It was a good thing to have it laying on an old towel. Burlap is easy to stitch and easy to embroider if it is very stable.  I am very pleased with the results!
