What fun I have lately putting together a few pin drums.... Thanks to Stacy Nash and Blackbird designs, there has been some wonderful designs created for this unique finish...
Blackbird designs has a new-ish book out, Maria Selby Humphrey 1831~ that really captured my eye....
I put wool on the ends and couched the recommended chenille trim.... Stitched on 28 ct linen, using 2 threads over 2...
I love how she's tightly packed and standing tall **( side note: I use a dense fiberfill here by Morning Glory... I buy it by the box, found at Walmart... It's the densest I have found, which helps pack tightly...FYI )
Isn't she nice nestled next to Netty?
Speaking of Stacy Nash's design, Netty's Sampler Pinkeep Drum..... She's a little shorter, but darling....
I perched one of my homemade strawberries atop.....
or, perhaps you have a pin to top your drum with.... Do you have stitched rectangular designs you would like help with? Contact me and I will be happy to finish them into a unique Pin Drum for you~~~. lriggsbee@nc.rr.com
...Last week was a little rough for me... I won't get into that, but the timing of this Random Act of Kindness was perfectly ... Stitching friends are the absolute best and sweet Carol from CA, had perfect timing! We share the love of all things red and she had thought of me when ordering from the Attic.... I was blown away....
Carol, you were so sweet to think of me and I will treasure these perfectly designed red Bohin scissors forever~~~
Lastly, I will leave you with a parting shot of my baby.... My 22 year old baby and his sweet girlfriend, Abby... I thought this picture summarizes happiness, youthfulness and love....
Many blessings to you all.....
