Another sweet little “no-sew” tray has come into existence! I finished this beautiful William Morris Rose needlepoint some time ago and just could not decide how I wanted to finish it. I was inspired by my “A Garden Queen” accessory tray and an awesome craft paint find in the sale bin at our local Michael’s store.
I love the soft pinks and greens in this piece and it turns out that the paint colour I found in the bin at Michael’s matched almost exactly to the green in the leaves of the piece. The paint is also textured and it gives the tray a soft matte, natural look.
I mounted this piece the same way as I did my “Queen’s Garden” tray. No sewing required! All you need is some foamboard, a piece or two of wool felt, some sequin pins and some trim – I’m a fan of the pompom trim!

The BEST part about this no-sew method, is that the mounted embroidery pieces are REMOVABLE! I can make more and swap them out!

Needless to say – there was A LOT of brown!!!
