I finished off something this weekend! The Velvet Parsnip by Stacy Nash: You can see I decided on the needlebook finish after all. This would be an awkward ornament! It’s surprisingly big and there leaves are floppy. I thought I could make the carrot design into a scissor case and a velvet tomato and then have a vegetable themed sewing […]
I added trim to some finishes this week and the effort was worth it, they are extra cute now: Chenille added to the Blackbird box I made earlier this year… Pom poms added to the Strawberry Liberty from Chessie and Me…this one really is perfectly dressed up with the poms. And I finished a model for The Attic of Autumn […]
Happy Fourth of July! I got some finishing done this week, and I’m excited to share it all! First of all, in the spirit of the holiday, Strawberries and Stripes from With Thy Needle and Thread. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the finished stitching! I was sick. I was tired. When I wasn’t sick, I had to […]
Hurray! I found my missing box of finishing materials! It turned out I had packed the box myself, it was an odd shape, and wasn’t well labeled, and had gotten mixed up with boxes of computer equipment the same dimensions. But you don’t need to know that! it was important to find it because I was desperate for felt to […]
I finished the Featherbeds Strawberry from Erica Michaels. It came out really well. Nearly perfect. I am patting myself on the back over this one. The flower and leaf pins are from The Glasshopper on Etsy and are a perfect complement. I love her pins. The silver bird is from another pin shop on Etsy…sweet and simple. Here is my […]
I finally got out my sewing machine today and made little pillows! Here is my Blackbird Designs Souvenir de France. I used the pink stripe fabric for the backing and Painter’s Threads silver embellished rick rack. It is just fancy and understated enough for a French souvenir. Next up is the Joy To Ewe Chessie and Me kit I stitched […]
Having out finishing tools and stuff for the tooth fairy pillow inspired me to get going on more FFO’s this past weekend. I REALLY wanted to FFO the Jeannette Douglas Garden Box project I stitched last year. I guess doing so much button hole stitching on felt gave me a boost of confidence too with finishing this up. Here’s my […]
