I have been on a finishing tear this past week. I have to be in the mood for finishing, but my pile was getting deep and most were ornaments/smalls, so easily knocked out. Of course after I had to go through stash to find the right backing fabrics, ribbons, etc..
First up are Folk Art Ornaments by Tapestry Barn. They were stitched on 25 ct. black Dublin with DMC. These will be my ornaments for the four older grands...that is if I can bear to give them away!!!
Next up is Botanical Bee by Hands on Design. I made this into a pin wheel...stitched on 36 ct. Seaspray by Seraphim Fabrics with WDW. Sorry, but the photo is washed out; the fabric and fibers colors are much brighter in person.
Then we have Home is Where My Samplers Are by The Scarlett House...stitched on 40 ct. WDW Beige with Vikki Clayton silks. I mounted this on a small board I got, at some point, from Hobby Lobby.
Now back to my regularly scheduled stitching....these hot, humid days have allowed for lots of stitching time. I run errands/do chores in the AM and then confine myself to the AC for the remainder of the day.
Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

Everything is so pretty Stasi.
ReplyDeleteI too, Have to be in the mood for finishing.
I have a big pile forming, so, when I'm healed, I will be busy!

What a wonderful assortment of finished finishes you shared, Stasi! Hard to pick a favorite, but I really like the ornaments you stitched for the older grands and the BOAF angels. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand having to be in the right mood for finishing, Stasi--and that hasn't been hitting me at all lately! I haven't even finished my ornament for June! Really love what you've finished, especially the ornaments on black and the BOAF angels. I need to get back to more stitching on black while my eyes can still handle it :) Enjoy your week--stay cool! ♥
ReplyDeleteGreetings Stasi: You have been a very busy Lady, love all your finishing ideas. You do have a talent for finishing, the backings of the ornaments are perfect, the pins and rick rack are the perfect finish for the Bee design, I have some paddle boards but never thought of using it for a finish, wonderful idea. The buttons add a special touch love it, the angels adorable.
