Here is the project from the March Make & Take class at my local quilt store. I missed this class, but picked up the pattern at April's Make & Take. It turned out pretty cute! Remember, I am not a quilter! This is the first project that I used crushed walnut shells for the stuffing. It is pleasantly heavy.
18 ct white mono canvas
Called for DMC threads
It is a little embarrassing to admit that this little Easter project was completed in 2009 and sat in a box under my bed until last week. I used some adorable chenille rick-rack.
The Sampler Girl-First Lady Sampler Series
Hannah's Spot Motif Sampler (Hannah Van Buren)
White 22 ct Congress cloth

This is another one that was sitting under my bed. I could not decide on the fabric to finish her. So I finally pulled out my patriotic fabrics and thought the blue with gold stars suited her. Yes, I admit that I used the continental stitch and did not cross any X's :) This is my first stitched needlebook finish. Here is the inside-
Nice finishes! I have completed stitching from at least 4 years back waiting to be finished or framed. So two years is not bad!
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic finishes! I love them all! Hey, don't we all take a while to get things finished finished? I know I do!
ReplyDeleteOH I love you little pincushion - the fabrics are gorgeous. Wonderful finishes too. You did a great job even if it took a while. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Laura Perin piece ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes - the pincushion is beautiful. You needlebook looks perfect with the fabric you chose.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the great finishes, they're all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty finishes, Teresa! And don't feel bad about those unfinished/finishes sitting in a box under your bed for so long. I have dozens myself--the joy is in the stitching for me :)
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I wish I had such nice stuff under my bed. Instead I store my dust bunny collection there. ;) Oh, and some socks! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes!
I like the March make-and-take project! Very cute!
