A while back I posted that I had stitched this baby up both the Christmasy way, as designed, and a fall themed version I came up with....Well, here is the fall version finished up....a little pillow to tuck in my tree...And, since Blackbird Designs lend themselves to that time worned look, I added a piece of lace and an old button...

And, I came up with a finish for the new freebie design by Sandra Sullivan...I have noticed several people stitched this piece, as found on her blog "Plain and Fancy Merchant", and I decided to keep things on the prim side and not go overboard with the finishing... A simple button with a scrap of ribbonand some twine.....

Both great finishes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to Boo. Also thanks for adding another stitch for me to do. Gotta have it. lol
Hey, girlfriend! You are just SO productive! I stitched that Boo yesterday during the ballgames! 'Course mine will not be finished quite so quickly! It's good to know that you had some from a while back now being finished (sunflower). Doesn't matter if they have to wait a little while - they're still lovely!!
ReplyDeleteLove your lace trimming on the BBD, gives it straightaway a much different look!
ReplyDeleteThe boo is lovely too :))
Wonderful works.:)Congrats.:)
ReplyDeleteI love these finishes, so simple yet very cute. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love the lace on the ornament - it's just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have a chart you were wanting headed your way... I completely forgot and just remembered today - it will go out tomorrow. :)
