One of the highlights of of the day was picking up the tote bag Amy made for me! I was so excited to get it and just love it. She had some totes for sale (if any are left!) so visit her blog.
I did actually stitch and even had a finish...
Trilogy "Happy Bunny Bunny Day"Stitched on 32 ct. linen
Isn't he a cutie??? Too cute to sit around so I decided to go ahead and finish him into this cute little pillow.
I also had a couple of finishes at the end of the week so I finished them too.
BBD "Bluebird"
Stitched on 32 ct. linen coffee dyed with ST Midnight
Chris stitched this Saturday on Weeks Straw fabric with the recommended GA Uniform Blue. It was to die for so I will definitely stitch this one again copying hers color palette.
And last but not least.....
Lizzie Kate "Spring Fab Fob" kitStitched with both DMC and dyed threads
I didn't realize there was a misprint on the chart until after I was finished but don't mind the orange butterfly (compared to the white butterfly on the pic)! The finished design was a little large for a fob, in my humble opinion, so I made it into a little pillow.
Well...that's enough for now. Thanks so much for visiting and all of your wonderful comments. Wishing you many happy stitches .....
Oh! A gorgeous Amy bag, how pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose finishes are fabulous, you did an awesome job on them.
Karen, your finishes are just too adorable! I LOVE how the LK looks stitched up and I like your ORANGE butterfly better :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
Oh wow! You've been ONE busy girl!!!! I love all your finishes but I have to say that the bunny one is my fav :o) I have this one all kitted up and after seeing your pillow, may finish mine like that. Can you tell me if the linen goes all the way around or is it backed by the green fabric shown? Thanks :o)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop in and say hello. Had a wonderful time Saturday and it was so nice to meet you. Can't wait to get together again soon. Also, LOVE how you made the bunny piece into a pillow - it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric that you chose for the BBD piece. It is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed meeting you Saturday. I hope that I will have the chance to stitch with you again soon!
Love the Spring Fab Fob. I think the orange butterfly is nicer than the white!
ReplyDeleteAll of your finishes are just fabulous. I love the bright, happy colors of the LK piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDeletewonderful finishes! that is too funny about the orange butterfly, i started stitching this piece and didn't realize it either until you just pointed it out. LOL i'm not pulling it out either! LOL
ReplyDeleteWow Karen!! I can't believe how fast you stitched those and how fast you finished them! They're all beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to see you the other day! Hope to see you again soon! :)
I love your little pillows, Karen--especially the bunny. I've stitched that, but never finished it. You've given me some possible ideas :)
ReplyDeleteAnd how lucky are you to have such a nice group of stitchers to get together with!
If you hadn't mentioned the orange butterfly I never would have known as it looks a million times better like this and will remember that when I stitch this one up! I just LOVE, LOVE all your pillow finishes esp that Bunny Day one! I even have that chart out to stitch up myself, lOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, all are darling, each one is such a beautiful finish! I've also often thought the smallest simplest design can make for a lovely finish:) Smalls can be addicting, yes?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely stitchy day:)
Wow, three finishes! All your little pillows are wonderful. I love the ric-rac on the bunny & birdie pillows and the ruched ribbon on the fab fob! Awesome job finishing these!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a finishing roll!~~ You go girl~~~ I LOVED being with everyone Sat....cant wait to do it again~~~ Until then, keep up your wonderful stitching~ Faye
ReplyDeleteYour new bag is wonderful and so are your finishes...hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteLove the bag - Amy did a wonderful job with it. And your finishes are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag! Wonderful stitching. I admit I prefer the orange butterfly on your L*K to the white one.
