Sunday's finishes......

Sometimes, when I really like a design, I will stitch it more than once....It seems I doing more and more of that.... I know last Dec/Jan after Christmas, I fell in love with an old freebie by Tokens and Trifles because it was simple, quick and could be a gift to about anyone.... Today, I finished off the finished stitched pieces and this is what I came up with....

I like the ribbon because it has a red bird on it...So, I anchored it down with two button stacked on top of each other...As you will see, I have fallen in love with the French General design of fabric by Moda as my backing fabrics.....
Here is a better peak of the ribbon and the loop it forms.... I guess you could actually hang these as ornaments or tuck it in a basket as a pillow....Nevertheless, my mom, sister and brother, who I rarely get to see, will be getting these little gifties at Thanksgiving......

Here is a better shot of the backing fabric and the ribbon.....

Then, I went back to my basket of finished stitches to see what else I could sew up today....And, viola!!! I had made two of the same tree pattern earlier this year as well.... I used Splendor silk thread on creme 36ct linen..... Those European gals can really come up with some gorgeous designs and I happened to find this freebie on Aliolka's blog........ Here is the link to her blog....

Again, I am using Moda fabric as my backing fabric...The green fabric is in the Adoring line by Moda.......The red is the above mentioned French General line by Moda.....

Red version

Green version

I like these because they are a little less over powering but still in the red/tan/green shades..

Well, time to get in the kitchen............ It was balmy here today which means we are grilling tonight!!!

I hope everyone has had a super weekend!! Make it a great week everyone!!! Faye
