A picture walk....

 

 

Greetings from North Carolina and welcome September..... I will be the first to admit that I am ready for Fall..... There are a lot of you out there who are too.... The days are shortening... the nights somewhat cooler... and, lots of stitching projects are in the making... I'd like to share a few finished creations that have come together in my craft room recently.

I have had requests for a larger zippered bag suitable for your 11" x 11" Q-Snaps... So, I am now offering a 16" x 24" XL bag at 35.00.... Just like my 12" x 15" size, this zippered bag has french seams and is fully lined with a zipper charm. Very roomy to hold larger items.....

So, if you're a stitcher who keeps their stitch on Q-snaps and need a way to organize and transport your project, please email fayeriggsbee@gmail.com or Facebook message me~ 

September brings on stocking finishes, ornaments galore and a little stitching myself... As I close, I will share a completed project and an ongoing project as I continue dedicating 2017 to my year of Quaker stitching...

 

Threadwork Primitives

Quaker Bird Pinwheel

My dear friend and talented designer, Nan Lewis, has released several Pinwheel designs that are all capturing my heart.... I will be showing the next one, Quaker Clover Pinwheel, very soon.....

And, my big Quaker sampler, Sarah Tatum, has been progressing nicely... I began her Jan.2017 and its my goal to have her completed before years end.....

Thanks for sticking with me for this long blogpost.... 

Stay safe, smiling and stitching,....,

August picture walk......

Good morning friends!! Its been a busy time in my craft-room since my last post... I have had the privilege of working on a couple designers model finishing projects that will be 2018 releases that I cannot show you yet.....  But, what I CAN reveal today are several customer finishes that have been delivered to their forever homes~ Please enjoy todays picture walk....  

I absolutely love this sewing roll by Theresa Meloon of Dulaney Woods Treasures... She designed not only a sweet little stitch, but a sewing roll with several pockets, wool appliqué and thread rings.. My customer is over the moon with this finished project...  

The front ties up nicely... My binding is blind stitched by hand~  

I found fabrics that accented the softer side of the design~  

 

A perfectly sweet stitch, design and finish to use in your displays... or, perhaps as a perfect gift to a fellow stitcher... 

 

 

 

 Another project I thoroughly enjoyed was the Word Play designs by With thy Needle & Thread...

Feast your eyes on all 12 months!

Each one is unique.... I used a charm on each one that matched a word in the design.... ribbons and seams tapes as well along with dangling buttons or bells....

Novembers bells were a cool copper brown, burnt orange seam tape with a cute pumpkin charm~ 

 

October really put me in a Fallish mood....

 

 

And, if course, Christmas ornaments are rolling in and out of my door~ This customer stitched the Prairie Schooler Trees... Aren't they adorable??

Trimmed with pom pom trim by Dames of the Needle in the color Nicks Coat...

A co-ordinating ribbon bow with bell.... I used rolled up brown wool felt as the tree trunk... 

Well.... more to come soon! I will leave you with a photo of one of my sampler walls... Its a space that is inpirational for me as a stitcher.... 

 

Blessings~

Faye

     

July picture walk~

 

Greetings friends and fellow stitchers~ Summer is flying by.... mid July means intense heat, beautiful summer sunsets and lazy days in the sun..... And, lots of stitching & finishing, of course~   Here are a few of your finishes that have left  my craftroom recently..... Again, I always want to thank you for trusting my creative interpretation to take your beautifully stitched pieces and finishing them into treasures~   

 

 Carolina Stitcher zippered bag sets remain one of my most popular products~

Next blogpost I will be featuring  a collection that I stitched and finished by Hands on Designs~ Cathy Habermann's "At the Beach"  really spoke to me, so I stitched a few to display at my beach condo.... I received a lot of positive feedback on my Facebook page, so I will show you more soon.... Until then.....

Stay cool, enjoy your days and happy stitching~

Tonight's picture walk....

I thought I'd sneak in a few photos of Carolina Stitcher zippered project bags tonight before we all pause to celebrate Independence Day on Tuesday~ Whether you send me a stitch to insert, ask for a contrasting fabric on the front or want a plain front bag; they are very nice when organizing your  projects.... So, here goes.....

A dear customer had the talented artist, Michelle Palmer, mail me her inked drawing as an insert in a bag.... I was so impressed with Michelle's beaitiful work, I had to order one for myself! 

Michelle Palmer's artwork, on both tea dyed muslin and stationary, can be found on her Etsy site....
