I love the dainty strawberries and the sweet bird...
The oval shape is perfect and the lattice work stitching was a great compliment.... Gentle Arts Carriage Black has beautiful mottling.... Its actually more dark gray's than black...
Black seam tape is attached to close the book...
Here is where the Carolina Stitcher spin on things are revealed... I couldn't have the inside remain plain... So I appliquéd a strawberry to push those pins in to... Its a Pin Book after all......
A few French Knots to represent tiny strawberry seeds... A small stem... You get the idea...
So, if you are a member of this fantastic stitch club through Country Sampler of Spring Green, WI and are interested in my help in finishing, please give a shout out... I am on Facebook and of course, you can email me or comment here on my blog....Perhaps you have another stitch but like the finish style.... I can help you with that also..Just let me know~
Make it a great Monday!!

Well done and absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've been inspired by beautiful finishes the last couple of years. Beyond a pillow or simple bag I chicken out. I think it's time I step out of my comfort zone and start giving things a whirl. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!! I, too, love the strawberry inside. Is the oval shape the suggested finish or is it yours?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful summer finish, Faye.
