I have been working on cleaning up my stitching room. After all my efforts, there was a pile of finishing that was looking pretty daunting. So the past few days have been working on making a dent into my finishing pile. The problem is that every time one is finished, I find another one!
Well, here is what has happened--
Thank you DD#1 for finishing Prairie Schoolers Country Wise-your finishing rocks :)
Here is the backing fabric-love it!
This is the only new project finish to share. It is my second attempt at a drawstring bag. You can see the blue backing fabric and the sampler lining fabric. It really helped to pick out the fabric THEN match the floss to the fabric.
I had this tote bag for a different project and finally admitted I would never stitch the other project. But I still loved the tote! So what to do? I Sew'd My Heart from Heartstring Samplery looks a little uneven, might have to revisit this one.
Yes, finally the Istitch mystery is complete. Woo Hoo! Hey, it was only 1 year. :) DH stained the box with the darkest brown stain we had on hand. Really like the results.
LHN Liberty Belles is finished to match LHN Liberty & Justice (see below). Love this look!
Finally a Christmas ornie finish this year. Once again the button looks off center, but it looked fine when I attached it. (This is part of my typical finishing angst.)
This one I just love-the Prim Sisters wall pocket.
This one is a little embarrassing-it is from 2010. The LHN Traveling Stitcher stitching bag was finished last year. The needlebook just got done. Here are the two together--
Here is the needlebook alone-
And the inside of the needlebook--
Off for more finishing!

ReplyDeleteWhat a productive week you've had, Teresa!! Your finishes (and your daughters!) are wonderful. I like how you chose the color to match the blue backing fabric. I do that with ornaments, too, and it makes such a difference...

ReplyDeleteHow busy you have been! All look great... can't wait to see what it is yet to come!
ReplyDeletehappy stitching and finishing...
A lovely job on all of your finishing!! I love the boxes! And how many times have I measured once and ended up with a big mess. :) Maybe I should stitch this piece and hang it in a prominent place. :)
ReplyDeleteYou and your sewing machine sure have been working overtime. Everything looks amazing! From the drawstring bag to the tote to the boxes to the ornament to the pouch and needlebook... Wonderful job, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Veronica.
