I didn’t get my October FFOs posted in time for the deadline last month for Rachel’s Fully Finished Object Gallery<\/a>, so I saved the post and added a few to it for November! Here are 2 months of FFOs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I framed Let It Bee from The Drawn Thread. Cynthia made it easy on us by planning this piece for a 5×7 frame! Thanks, Cynthia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, I managed to stitch my Garden Urn Pinkeep (Samplers Notforgotten) up into a pillow using all the provided finishing materials. I am considering a chenille edging. I like borders on pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then I did a couple “round things:”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the most perfect little pie tin ornament at Hobby Lobby-the perfect size for the Brooke’s Books Madonna and Child! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s my Fuzzy Fox Variegated Snowflake (note the addition of beads) I think I need to develop a proprietary method for turning a twisted cord into a tassel at the bottom. It is tricky to do but I like it so I will probably do it again. But it needs to be easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And my Threadwork Primitives Quaker Carnations Pinwheel which just lacks the pins. That’s an easy addition. I would like to find the gray pearl head pins like is shown in the model. The ribbon trim is from Dames of the Needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And here’s what I’ve got for November:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to FFO some more ornaments that have been languishing. Here are some old ones from Mill Hill and Threedles that just needed their felt backing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The colors for Snowbirds by Country Cottage Needleworks (JCS Ornaments 2013) are similar to the snowflake so I used some materials I bought for the snowflake to try out. Here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another little square ornament is the Little Santa from Bent Creek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It goes with the Little Nativity from a couple years ago. (Though I’m not happy with the precision of the finish on Little Nativity so I think I will redo it). These are only about 1 1\/2″ square so lack of precision shows up a lot more in these pictures than in real life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, since it was pretty simple, I got my Mini Motif Sampler put in the frame. It’s VERY cute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
