Here are some of  my recent finishes that will be released at Nashville Market in March

They are from Lila's Studio

The two above finishes are from Lila's Studio's new release Holiday Quaker.

There is a beautiful sampler that these are part of.

 Here are two of the Dinah's Garden Series Designs

Also by Lila's Studio

Below are a few other finishes you might enjoy.

A box finished for an avid fisherman. What do you think he will put inside?

Stocking be it large or small stockings always add curiosity to the Christmas time

A friendship easel will certainly make a friend smile.

The above are just a small sampling of last fall's finishes.

Just a reminder that it is never to early for finishing.

We do mail orders as well.

Well until next time - Happy Stitching!

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know I am  still doing finishing for your needlework masterpieces.
Here are some different  finishes

The Memory Pillows  bring comfort from a loved one that has moved on.

Each one customized to fit your needs

 Holiday finishing is always fun. Pillows, ornaments - so many ways to show off your creative

stitching.  Even the small fully lined stockings are unique and can fill in small spaces or share a goodie or two.

Teaching the younger generation to stitch can be so rewarding for them as well as you..
We will hold classes upon request.

My granddaughters at the time were 10 and 13.

Lorna did the cross stitching and then learned to how to make a pillow.  

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!
