......Brrrrrr~ Good chilly morning to most of you~ As we turn our sights to organizing and tidying up, I thought I would share a few finishes that I did for stitching friends...... Many of these were gifts you gave to others.....
I added the heart hand stitching and colonial knot as embellishment.....
The blue version was very pretty also...... These are by iStitch Designs~....
I used some of my favorite sampler style fabric for their backing....
These were gifts for 5 friends..... Blackbird Designs Remember Me
This customer wanted each friend to have a pin pillow that was simple and unique, yet all similar~
So, she stitched them in different colorways....
All filled with crushed walnut shells.....
A special pin and seam tape as accent.....
Now, isn't that a special friend who would do that???....
Impressive as a collection.....
I never tire sewing and finishing this collection..... This was the sixth set of Tanya Brockmeyer of Scarlett House's "Polka Dos & Alphabets" design...
The pin pillow is darling ......
I love everything that has a thread spool included....
The weighted fob... I know one of this collection was mailed to a friend in France.... I bet they fell in love with the polka dot linen~
Speaking of collections.... Little House Needleworks Virtue pillows will always be popular.....
When I finish these, I leave no raw edges...
Rather, I sew the wool to the backing, turn right sides out... Then hand stitch the blanket stitch on the edges....
I leave you with a couple snaps of my ornaments as I was packing them up yesterday..... All were put away but these.... Some of my favorites.....
Threadwork Primitives~ Be Ye Merry..... One of my absolute favorites!
Enjoy this glorious day!!! May 2015 bring everyone happiness, good health & lots of stitching!

Happy New Year my dear Faye!!! All your creations are gorgeous in each detail! But Be Ye Merry is my favorite too!!! ;)
Thank you for sharing through this year. You have given us much inspiration. I see many patterns you are finishing that I was not aware of and would like to stitch. Maybe I will meet a fellow North Carolinian at the Myrtle Beach retreat this year. Karen outside of Greenville. Have a happy and healthy New Year!
Happy New Year Faye! These finishes are super gorgeous and so inspiring!!!!! Thank you for always brightening the blog and stitching world!!!
lovely finishes! The designer of the Paris design is Carol of iStitch :)
A wonderful collection of ornaments along with the finishes.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you! I loved all the pics of the ornaments, etc. What a great friend the person is who stitched all of the "Remember Me" projects in various colors; I totally love them! It is always so good to receive a post from you. Happy stitching and finishing.
Happy New Year Faye! I just love all the finishes that you have posted.. Your collection of ornaments are wonderful!
You are truly a needle artist!!! I love these finishes. The sampler stocking you finished for me is gorgeous.. Happy New Year.
Such lovely finishing! I know that they will all be treasured by the recipients!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, Faye--I just adore all of your finishes and am sure your customers did as well. It was fun to see your collection of little beauties, too--sad to put them away for a year, isn't it?
I put Christmas away too, and decorated for Winter, but find I have only TWO actual winter ornaments! Better change that!! I have framed pieces and snowman figurines, but not much stitched. Hmmm... Thanks for sharing your fabulous finishing as always! Happy 2015!
Absolutely beautiful stitching! I would be sad to pack them up.
You are incredibly creative, Faye. Your work is soooo beautiful! Hope to have you finish something for me soon....
