This weekend was filled with finishing for many customers.... And myself..... At last post, I had stitched the chart Down Virginia Way by Threadwork Primitives and the Sarah Tobias Pinkeep by Blackbird Designs..... A unique finish was in order, so, I found the most perfect box to paint, distress and wax....
The box was a simple unfinished lidded box I found at Hobby Lobby...
Distressing the corners made the look complete on the exterior..
The inside of the box needed a little dressing up... Or "dressing down" as I like to say when priming thing up....
I wanted a slightly padded bottom... And a padded tufted piece inside the lid.... Browns and blues are the overall theme....
With the Sarah Tobias Pinkeep sitting inside, I thought they made a nice set....
I had fun with this finish..... Thanks again Dyeing to Stitchfor awarding me the chart and linen for this fun stitch....
Make it a great week....

Awesome box finish. I like the padded piece for the inside of the lid.
Beautiful stitching and finishing, Faye.
The color combination is wonderful.
You are blessed with talent.
Congrats again Faye on your prizes from Dyeing to Stitch. It is always wonderful to see what you will do with a design. It looks so cool on the box and Oh my, I love the tufted inside lid.
