Another 2010 Finish!

Homespun Elegance
Stash Keep
Mystery 28ct Linen
HDF Overdye Silk

I bought this kit during the online needlework show and it arrived Nov 20. So it was a quick stitch and finish.

The silk is a red/brown overdye from Vikki Clayton that I got in my exchange with Lorrie. I am embarrassed to admit that the name of the silk has escaped me and I can't put my hand on it right now. I will find it in my piles and update this post.

When finishing, I used the same lightweight batting on this that I use in ornaments and I wish I had used 2 layers or a thicker weight. The pattern called for fiberfil and I thought the padding would be too uneven for picky me.

Overall, I am a happy stitcher with this project!

That's so pretty, great job!

It looks wonderful. I love your color choice. I did this one a while ago, but used whatever color they recommended. You may be happy with less batting in yours. I stuffed mine and can't really get the lid opened.

How lovely! Was the box part of the kit?

What a pretty stash box--I've never seen anything like that. How large is it?

Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, the box came as part of the kit. It measures 6" X 4" X 3". That is the box only-doesn't include the tall back.
