A few recent finishes.....

Greetings friends and fellow Stitcher's!!

 

Brrrrrr here in the Carolina's! It's been unusually wet and rainy here but more so it's gotton very cold too..... That hasn't stopped me from getting busy in my craftroom after work in the evenings..... I recently completed my finishing on this lovely set of stitching needfuls.... Miladys Needle put out a kit a while back called "Cottage Charm Stitcher's Pocket".... I actually have it in my stash to stitch.... The beautiful alphabet fabric is included in the kit and I only wish I could buy yardage of it!!

 

Cottage Charm Stitcher's Pocket kit by Miladys Needle

 

The pocket is made to hang around your neck..... I made cording out of 2 DMC shades of green...

The Needlebook slides right inside the lined fabric pocket~

 

The Needlebook has a pocket for your tiny scissors and a wool flap to hold your pins and needles...

 

A small scrap of the alphabet fabric makes the pocket.... I hand stitched it on the lining using the blind stitch..

 

Edged with more custom made cording there is a corded loop to accommodate the round button closure..

 

I loved this project.... And it's owner does as well......

 

Additionally, I have finished a couple pieces for a sweet lady who, like me, L-O-V-E-S "With thy Needle&Thread" designs.... These 2 pieces simply spoke to me and I let my creativity fly!

I knew antique buttons had to be a part of this finish.....

 

And the primitive aqua script fabric seemed to be a just-right fit..... Lace along with another aqua tone fabric that has tiny flower buds that mimick the cross stitch design rounded out my supplies for this pillow....

 

And to compliment that pillow, another WtNT design was made into a small pillow....

Lots of creamy buttons embellish this sweet design~

 

Hand dyed rick-rack edges the arched stitch as I hand attached that to the back ground fabric.... Then the layer of buttons came last.....

 

Two spring themed accessories just waiting for warmer days~~

 

Keep up the great stitching people!!! I love what you send me and I'm ready to lend my creative flair in finishing your stitched pieces into useful and serviceable treasures~~

 

Much love....

Faye
