February 2022 FFOs

I’m linking up with Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher to persevere in my finishing this month! First, I made the Milady’s Needle stitch into a pin cushion. It was impossible to find a matching trim color. What I wanted was a dark green chenille but no one seems to make or carry the correct shade. I did not want to […]
