Finishing Touches and Holiday Deadline


  
Hi Everyone! My how time flies. It's been a year already!                                            
        This years finishing deadlines are:
            Guaranteed before Christmas if brought in by Nov. 15th
            Anything brought in after that we will do our best.

One of my new finishes - the RIP Coffin Etui - a cute place to store scissors and needles while doing your fall stitching.


I designed the Coffin Etui using a box found at the craft store and part of a design from JCS 2014 Halloween Issue, Ghosts by Maria Warmke of the Stitcherhood.  It is fully lined inside with a removable witch hat needle minder (a Creative Finisher design) that is attached to the lid with a magnet so it can be removed and used while your stitching.
The set also includes a needle book and scissor fob. The needle book says "When stitching time comes to and end, Rest in piece til we stitch again." I had a lot of fun creating this project - right down to the saying on the needle book!

With the Holidays just around the corner remember to get your pieces in for finishing by November 15th. There is nothing more enjoyable and gratifying than giving or receiving a handmade gift.

Here are a few finishing projects from this past year





If you have a needlework piece that needs repair, give me a call. I will try to
repair it. Below is a stocking that needed repaired. A dog wanted what was
inside.

  


   
I pulled some threads fro the seam allowance and used then to weave the hole closed.
It took some time and patience. The owner said she will be a little more careful from now on and was thrilled with the finish.

Well, that's about all for now. Happy Stitching!
