Happy Father's Day! A Fiber Art Update

When I think of my Dad I see him in a blue plaid shirt. All of the time, 100%. In fact I had so many options for the photo to put here at the top, I didn’t know what to pick, for this post because of just how many BLUE PLAID SHIRT photos I have of my dad.

So it goes to say when I found a Tissue Topper titled “Study in Blue” I knew I had to make one for my Dad for Father’s Day. It’s pretty close to the colors from the book but I chose my true blue colors instead of the muted colors in the book.

This tissue box was actually difficult to do because it has many layers of yarn in it and it got difficult to pull the yarn through the holes of the plastic canvas. While the pattern looks deceptively simplistic I assure you it was not.

I’m also very lucky to have another Father in my life that is on the opposite end of the color spectrum of my own father who wears very bright solid colors so…

This one was a crazy color difference from the book, the book was all browns and greens but I thought some very bright and vibrant colors would look even better and you know…I was right. Haha. This one was fun too with a new type of stitch to add some texture near the edges.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads but more so to my own!
