Seems like more and more prim patterns turn my head these days....I LOVE about anything Stacy Nash puts together and when I saw Pears & Strawberries Sampler I knew I had to stitch it~~ I have not decided if I will finish it as the Sewing Bag as she did, or if I will put it into a pillow.....Will have to see how things stike my fancy...

Also, I knew this pattern entitled St. Noel by With thy Needle & Thread, would be at the top of my to do list....So it too was done while I was at the beach during the week of rain..... Brenda Gervais has always been someone I looked up to with her creative finishing and this one was no exception...She made it into a "ditty pocket" and I hope to do the same....

Finally, here is my cute little blackbird that sweet Myra made for me...He's all perched up on the fall themed tree and I think him and the "Berry Theif" (hanging below him...) well, I think they must have a little somethin' somethin' going on.... I think they might actually be staring at one another..................ha!
So, until next time, here's hoping your day was wonderful and your tomorrow will be even better~~
Happy stitching everyone, Faye
I love your finishes.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love the PSS finish, and love the progress on the Christmas project too.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching! Can't wait to see how you finish them. I hadn't seen, or hadn't noticed, the Stacy Nash design before...it is officialy now on my wish list! Isn't it funny how we pass by designs until we see someone else's finishes? I have spent more money than I care to think of that way. LOL! I love Brenda G's designs too...can't get enough of them! Congrats on the little giftie from Myra...how perfect!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finishes Faye! That Christmas piece will look fabulous as a ditty pocket. LOL'ing at the blackbirds with a little sumthin', sumthin' going on.
