Good Friday evening all...... I've just come home today from a whirlwind shop hop through parts of Maryland and Virginia~~ Oh my how so MANY of you are blessed to have a LNS( or two!) where you live~~ My traveling stitching friend ,Linda and I, were able to see several awesome LNS and Quilt shops before being called on back to NC..... We cannot wait to return!
Before leaving, I was able to put the final finish on the Stacy Nash design "Emilia Poole 1802"... A great customer of mine had stitched the set.... I had also already stitched the set.... So, I was able to finish both Emilia's at the same time..... It was a true labor of love envisioning all the special touches I wanted the Ms Emilia's to have....
I will let you be the judge of her... Of them...
This is the book folded open.... Aged velvet is the books inside and outside binding...
There are a few beautiful Blackbird Designs Strawberries inside...
I finished them with special end caps...filled with crushed walnut shells~
Isn't this a beautiful set????
I used special touches on the strawberry tops....
So... There you have it! The Emilia Twins... One now lives in PA and one lives in NC~
As always, please know you can call on me for your finishing needs~
A labor of love it will always be~
Happy stitching!
Faye
