My FFOs this month were supposed to be FFOs last<\/em> month, but you know how it goes around the holidays! Anyway, I am so glad Rachel has decided to continue to host the FFO Gallery<\/a> so that I can share these with you now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First is my Little Berry Thief Berry from Scattered Seed Samplers. It may be a little thief, but it is not a little berry! This thing is as big as a baseball easy, and being filled with walnut shells is quite heavy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The designer gave very good finishing instructions, and has a tutorial with lots of pictures on her blog which was very helpful!<\/a> The kit is from her club last year, and she is just starting another club this year. I will join it. I liked all the kits from 2019 very much. If you are interested too, you can sign up here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second FFO is this free heart design from Faby Reilly which I stitched up last year. (It was free with her newsletter last February and I think you can still get it on her Facebook fan page) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one was one of those finishes that had to percolate a while. When I finally had a vision for it, I was certain it would come out well, I could just SEE it like this, but I had to figure out HOW to do it. I roughly followed this tutorial<\/a>, sewing the ribbon sides on, one piece at a time, turning it, and then hand sewing the final edge. A mattress pincushion! It would have been a lot easier to handsew the whole thing <\/a>using all the same linen, but I loved the ribbon for the sides, I loved the pink fabric for the back, so I had to make them work! Ta Dah! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I have this little ornament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I didn\u2019t stitch it, my aunt made it and gave it to me in a card frame when I was a girl. Several years ago I turned it into and ornament but it was lumpy and I wasn\u2019t thrilled with it. A little pompom trim has done it a world of good and I think it\u2019s super cute now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to head over to Rachel\u2019s to see more FFOs! There are some really lovely things this month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
