Being in less of a stitching mood and more of a sewing mood does have it's advantages.
I managed to get three pieces finished.
I managed to get three pieces finished.
" Alphabet Sampler Tree"This was a free pattern you can find here:
http://amonamipierre.net
Stitched on 32ct linen using DMC variegated threads.
Finished as a quilted wall hanging.
"Scissors Heart"Stitched on 32ct linen using DMC #115
Finished as a medium sized pin pillow.
"I Love A Country Collection"
Stitched on 14ct aida using DMC.
I finished this piece several years ago (2006) and planned on entering it in the local fair so I framed it in a hurry using duct tape.
NEVER DO THAT!!
I started getting some discoloration that was peeking beyond the frame, so I went ahead and cut it down this year and made a quilted wall hanging out of it. Much more country looking this way, I used cotton calico and denim from an old pant leg.
I never did enter it in the fair.
Thanks for stopping by and thank you for leaving a piece of your self behind in the wonderfully kind comments you post. I do appreciate each and every one of them.
Take Care & Happy Stitching .... Sandy

Beautiful, love the wall hangings and particularly the one with the denim, great idea, it really suits the stitching.
ReplyDeletewhat lovely finishes! I think they've all turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteWho is the Alphabet Sampler Tree by, please? I'm not familiar with that design at all.
You finish so well, may have to hire you out to finish some things for me. Duct tape, never thought of that, but as you say it will discolor.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are all very pretty. I like the different ways you finished them off.
ReplyDeleteWow great finishes!! I love the heart one.
