Fully Finished Objects April 2024

I have FFOs for you! Autumn Splendor from With They Needle and Thread. I’m so happy I was able to finish it just like the model. I loved the model so much! The Botanical Bee from Hands on Design. I went with the yellow bee fabric. For one thing, this choice won the widest support from everyone who saw it […]

Bees and Funky Birds

I finished the Botanical Bee from Hands On Design! What a cheerful project, but there is a lot of stitching in it! I have it prepped for finishing. I am deciding on these 2 fabrics to back it as a circle ornament. I am leaning to the blue stripes as more elegant but I’m shopping around for opinions. Here is […]

Grapes and Squirrels
