2 More Finishes
Another two to get off the list!
Christmas Sampler - not finished in time for 2010 Christmas but at least its ready for this year. A Nancy Halverson design - in the book "Tidings" . I fell in love with this at the Brisbane Craft show in October last year.
Leanne Beasley's Stitchers Keeper - I just love this embroidery - it was a "Must have" as soon as I saw it.
The pattern included an iron on transfer - just love those things - so much better than tracing - and you can use a wider variety of fabrics. So I had to test the iron on before I did the main pattern - and made a little needle case out of the pratice bit. (That's it at the top saying "Stitchers Keeper"). I feel I also need a scissors holder with a single flower - maybe later!
One more is finished - but it will have to wait for another day.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I do appreciate it, I do read them all and I do try to reply to all comments (except all that crazy Spam stuff...you know who you are!)
oooo just love it maybe I will make one for a future Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat stitcher Keeper is awesome and I love the design! That would have been a lot to trace though! And yes, you need a matching scissor keep!
ReplyDeleteYou are just on a roll with the finishes! Keep it up!
