In the meantime, I've been working on some finishing, a little bit at a time, and was able to get my other Sherri Jones class completed. Woo-hoo.....talk about sweet, sweet, sweet! The piece is the Afternoon Leisure Basket. It comprises two tiny "books", scissor sheath, pin pillow, pin keep and berry......all of which fits in a beautiful swing handle wooden basket with lovely stitched bottom sections. Here's the photos:

Wow, Stasi! Your Afternoon Leisure Basket is stunning. Bummer on the canceled yard sale! We had sun this morning, but it has darkened up and is now raining with distant rumbles of thunder. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree... enough with the rain & today we got cold too...ugh...I want to sit on the porch and stitch! Your Afternoon Leisure Basket is so pretty... love all the little pieces... here's hoping next week is drier and sunnier and warmer!
ReplyDeleteThis is so very lovely Stasi. I really adore that little dog.
ReplyDeleteWell, you could have frigid temps and snow flurries we had today for my son's graduation. ;)
Your stitching and finishing is beautiful. Great job and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Ann---appreciate you stopping by.
DeleteYour Leisure Basket came out very nice! You should be proud of it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like spring is extra slow this year - it's still rainy and cold around here.
Thanks Margaret---how is yours coming?
DeleteIt's been crazy weather-wise here--sunny one minute, blowing like crazy the next!
I love this project and you did a beautiful job on it! Hope you get to have the yard sale next week and not delay until fall so good luck!
