I finally got my gumption up to
do some finishing today.
La D Da "In the Sweet"
This design stitched in DMC resulted in
some "funky" colors but I had the perfect
olive ric rac from Victorian Motto
to trim this little pillow.
Scarlett House "Jingle All The Way"
I also had the perfect ric rac for this
one but it was too small to sew in
the seam. Tacked around the edge
worked out perfectly and I have
to say I *love* this one.
(Pssst Tanya....I need a complementary design to stitch on
red and one to stitch on ivory to keep this one company.)

Well...I've been spending time with
another Fat Man this week. With temps in
the 70's, stitching one of these guys is
about as close to winter as I can get.
Sure hope this doesn't mean we
are in for a hot summer.
Hopefully my sewing machine will get
another work out tomorrow and I can get
some of these Fat Men properly dressed.
happy stitching...
They are both so sweet!!!! Love them :-).
ReplyDeleteCute cute!! See...You CAN sew~~ I agree with you that Tanya needs to design US a couple more designs to hang out with Jingle.....

ReplyDeleteWell done Karen! I love your finishes. I hope your sewing mojo holds out. We can't have naked fat men running around...LOL!
ReplyDeleteFunky colors or not, that is one sweet piece now! They both are! I am going to do some finishing today too, after I run a few errands and start laundry and fix dinner... Man, I am tired already! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHey, Karen!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you whipping up something fun and fabulous! Hope work hasn't been keeping you too busy. Love your finishes, and good tip for Tanya! Look forward to seeing how the fat men are dressed :-)
Love your finishes. You're making me feel guilty about not getting my sewing machine out to finish some projects!
ReplyDeleteStunning finishes. I have my eye on that Jingle one. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes, I love the dark green linen on Jingle. It's hard for me to stitch wintery designs once it starts warming up again.
ReplyDeleteLove them both!!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how your machine could possibly get dusty - You are always posting such wonderful projects ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes Karen, just love them.

As always, you have done some more beautiful finishing! Visiting your blog is always so encouraging and inspirational, and makes me think that I too can achieve nice finishing like yours. Blessings in Stitches!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finishes.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are such great finishes Karen! I really like the ric rac trim especially on Jingle.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute finishing, Karen!! I am so impressed with your mad finishing skills. :)
ReplyDeleteYour finishing is just beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteOh so cute your two little pillows. I love the ricrac you used for the edging. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove your finishes!
ReplyDeleteLove Jingle All the Way!! That fabby looks like velvet to me!! Beautiful finishes Karen!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Karen...these are both beautiful finishes. I love the ric rac tacked on like that second pillow. I don't know if my sewing skills are up to keeping it even and straight inside a seam. I must try tacking it on! You always have such good ideas.
