Fabric Vase With Embroidered Stitches

I had done some machine embroidery stitches on a black fabric a few months ago. Not actually sure what I was going to make with it. Then I got an idea to turn the stitched fabric into a fabric vase to give to a sweet friend of mine. There are several photos below to show the 4 sides of the vase and see how it looks on each side. A lot of the pretty stitches ended up getting cut off or sewn into seams, but that's what happens when you aren't sure what to do with piece in the first place.

I created 2 pieces of fabric with machine decorative stitches and couched yarn. I cut one of them up to create the fabric vase I made below.

I added several hot fix crystals to the vase on each side.

The Beautiful Fabric Vase I Recently Won

If you follow my blog then you might recall that I wrote recently about being the "lucky" winner of a beautiful fabric vase. Linda and Laura are a mother and daughter team who wrote a book together and blog together, even though they live in different states. The book is called, Contain It! English Paper-Pieced Accessories.

I received my vase and I love it! Mine has a hexagonal base, whereas the vase on the cover of their book isn't hexagonal, but still gorgeous. But before I show you some photos I took of the vase, I wanted to tell you I was just invited to join Laura and Linda in April for a blog hop to celebrate the one year anniversary of the release of their book. Plus if you hop along to all the blogs you will have a chance at winning a copy of their book too. I don't have all the details yet, but will share them when they become available. So stay tuned for the blog hop and giveaway in April.

Okay now on to the beautiful vase~

Too bad I didn't have any flowers to put into the vase. Of course I would only put real flowers in a glass vase and then inside this fabric vase. But I didn't even have any fake flowers. but it's still gorgeous on it own, right?
