I finished one of my larger pieces and sent it off to the framer on Friday. It is a Christmas gift for a special person, who may find her way to this blog. So, I will have to wait until after she receives it to show it here.
I decided that I need to take a bit of a break from all of my "big" projects. I am going to start back up on some of those class pieces that are still sitting in my stitching area - but probably not until the holidays are behind me. Of course, I can't not stitch (that would just be wrong!) so I am going to work on some "quick" projects through the end of the year.
While I was at my Stitcher's Hideaway retreat in October I purchased a number of Pine Mountain Designs' Tie One On kits. These are great pre-finished pillow shams that work up into very cute decorative pillows. I finished the one called Winter Nights over the weekend. I purchased one for each season and then one each for the months of March (DD's birthday), June (our wedding anniversary), and November (DH's and my birthdays). Eventually I'll display them in my stitching room when the house renovation is finally done.

Until next time, happy stitching.
I really think the cushion is beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise. It was a quick fun finish.
DeleteVery cute, Linda!

Thanks, Lisa. I enjoyed the stitching.
DeleteNice stitching. Have fun with the small projects. It sure feels like you are getting some where with the smaller projects.

Thanks, Heidi. After finishing several large projects, and with several in the wings, I really need to work on small projects to get a sense of accomplishment.
DeleteThat sham is adorable. Can't wait to see pics of your large project.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mab. I will probably post right after Christmas.
DeleteI love Pine Mountain designs and this one is particularly charming. I take it the finishing fabric comes with the kit? Beautiful! Well done.

Fortunately for me, the pillow is completely assembled and all I had to do was stitch the design on the aida. I am all-thumbs when it comes to sewing!
DeleteI have a few of these pillow covers. they are quick and cute. I make my own pillows though. Winter Nights is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris. The pillows look like they should be easy to make. I am hopeless when it comes to sewing, so the pre-made kits are a godsend!
DeleteThat's a sweet finish, Linda. I'm always tempted by those pillows, but I have no place to display them, so oh well...
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a nice quick stitch. This may actually sit on a shelf.
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marge. It was nice to get instant gratification from a quick finish!
