Hello fellow friends and Stitchers~ What a glorious Sunday this is and perfect for me to share a few of my recent finishes~ I've recently been watching a little Flosstube and have learned the acronym for a stitched project that has finally been finished is referred to a FFO... Finally Finished Object! So, I guess I have a new title..... Creator of FFO's! I love that~ Here a few of the most recent FFO's that have have mailed out of my craftroom.....
Pins and Needles~ Pheasant Street Samplers
I made a crushed walnut filled pincushion.... And put my Carolina Stitcher spinning on things....
Topiary in Bloom~ Blackbird Designs.....
I fell in love with the birds... I wanted to create a Needlebook to compliment the pincushion seen above... So, I coordinated fabrics and specialty stitches...
Leftover linen was incorporated into the inside pocket...
These two would be a beautiful gift set or the beginning of a sweet vinyette...
Another couple designs were finished as a "set".... Marrying Littlehouse Needleworks with Plum Street Samplers....
Merry One~ Plum Street Samplers
I enjoy making custom cording.... And, the round padded ornaments are the perfect finish to use the cording on.... For me, it gives that nice clean finished look......
The beginnings of her 2016 Christmas goodies, my customer was most pleased....
Here's a look at another sweet ornament....
Merry Mouse~ With thy Needle & Thread
Again, handmade cording that ties the various colors together.....
While I'm mentioning stitches that may be presented in pairs, or finished to compliment each other, this is a good time to show you a way you may want to consider when you have something small to attach to a stitched piece....
I attached a nice metal ring discreetly in the corner..... So I could do this or....
This.... Looping the top of the strawberry through the ring allows it to be attached to the pillow. Yet, can be removed with ease if you'd like to use it somewhere else....
Many of you are now making collections of strawberrys using my metal toppers.... (I now stock these toppers in silver tone and bronze tone so email me if you need some...fayeriggsbee@gmail.com) These toppers are your strawberrys crowning glory....
Finally, a special 19" project roll with a twist! Using your stitched piece on the inside lining of your project roll is the perfect way to continue to enjoy that beautiful stitch....
Martha Agnes~ Stacy Nash Designs.... Seen as part of the inside lining of the project roll....
Well protected when closed and you're not stitching on your current project.....
But, will be enjoyed when you unroll the project roll to start stitching again..... All sizes of stitched pieces can be used this way... On 12" or 19" project rolls, your small stitched pieces would look nice here also....
Hoping your day is wonderful! I'll be resuming my craftroom finishing on Thursday...Lots of orders on hand to get back to you guys and it'll be my pleasure to do so the last part of my summer break..... With my October 1 deadline for Christmas finishing fastly approaching, please get your goodies to me to secure your spot in my finishing rotation.... Just a thought!
Consider this to be your thought for the day~
Always,
Faye

What a great way to start a beautiful Sunday with all your lovely creative finishes. LOVE the idea of the stitches piece inside the project roll.
I'll be thinking about a design for a big project roll, cheers! Mel
Love your quote of the day, a keeper. In awe of your finishing skills as always.
Your work is just amazing!
At first glance I thought, this could be a set! You certainly pulled them together into a darling set! Your sweet touches make each one a specialty! Thanks for sharing the tips we may not think of! Yeah, that's a good title: the FFO Girl. ❣
Another fabulous batch of FFOs from Faye's workroom! Thank you for sharing, Faye! You do inspire. Someone should chart the quote you shared.
Those finishes are fantabulous! Love the hint for little ring trick for attaching the strawberry. Perfect....
Wow lovely finishings! Beautiful strawberry finish with a nice cap, love, love!!!
Have a nice week Faye.

What a beautiful post. SO relaxing to read. Your finishes are gorgeous and I have to tell you that I use my project rolls every day. I love them. Everything, from the details and the fabric is just so finely finished.
Beautiful finishes! Love reading your post.
I loved looking at your finishes; all inspiring. You are soo productive!
Faye, I love your work. It always brings a smile to my face that stays with me all day. I plan to send on Saturday, a few lovelies for you to finish. I can't wait to see what you do with them! XO, Willa
Preciosos todos tus trabajos.
Te felicito por ellos.
Feliz semana ... Besos, Paqui :)
Okay here is something new for me I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. Okay so it isn't anything new but I do love them. You are so clever. P xxx
I just love taking these picture walks. Your finishing is so inspiring as is all the beautiful stitching.
Your finishing work is so beautiful. I wish you'd offer tutorial's on how to do some of it....but then you'd be out of business lol..so i understand why you don't. :) I love the needlebook with the binding and the acorn gathering sewing roll. Very fun finishes.
