Last of the gift finishes.....

Greetings friends and Happy New Year!


......Brrrrrr~ Good chilly morning to most of you~ As we turn our sights to organizing and tidying up, I thought I would share a few finishes that I did for stitching friends...... Many of these were gifts you gave to others.....


I added the heart hand stitching and colonial knot as embellishment.....


The blue version was very pretty also...... These are by iStitch Designs~....



I used some of my favorite sampler style fabric for their backing....


These were gifts for 5 friends..... Blackbird Designs Remember Me


This customer wanted each friend to have a pin pillow that was simple and unique, yet all similar~


So, she stitched them in different colorways....


All filled with crushed walnut shells.....


A special pin and seam tape as accent.....


Now, isn't that a special friend who would do that???....


Impressive as a collection.....

I never tire sewing and finishing this collection..... This was the sixth set of Tanya Brockmeyer of Scarlett House's "Polka Dos & Alphabets" design...



The pin pillow is darling ......


I love everything that has a thread spool included....


The weighted fob... I know one of this collection was mailed to a friend in France.... I bet they fell in love with the polka dot linen~

Speaking of collections.... Little House Needleworks Virtue pillows will always be popular.....



When I finish these, I leave no raw edges...






Rather, I sew the wool to the backing, turn right sides out... Then hand stitch the blanket stitch on the edges....



I leave you with a couple snaps of my ornaments as I was packing them up yesterday..... All were put away but these.... Some of my favorites.....





Threadwork Primitives~ Be Ye Merry..... One of my absolute favorites!


Enjoy this glorious day!!! May 2015 bring everyone happiness, good health & lots of stitching!
