I am a huge Lizzie Kate fan and was excited when Angela started the Lizzie Kate Lovers blog! I certainly didn't want to be left out so I got my rear in gear and did some finishing so I could post too!
LK "Merry Ho Ho" & "By Golly Be Jolly"
Cubes are my favorite finishing technique since it requires no sewing! I definitely slept through Bow-Tying 101...thank goodness for stick pins! This is only my second flat-fold and it is becoming my second favorite although it does require a little more figurin'!Just in case you were wondering.....I finished the backs too! :)
I do hope to do some more finishing tomorrow if my mojo can hold out! Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day as we remember our military members!
Happy stitching....
Those are so adorable. Great finishes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! Love the fabrics you chose too!
ReplyDeleteboth are beautiful!!!!! I love how you did both of them!! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to join the LK group, but for some reason, the invites won't go thru. She sent me 2 & I never got either.Oh well!!
Ooh I love them! They are both great. Hugs LISA V.
ReplyDeleteToo cute Karen - great job on both of them!!! Maybe I'll send you & Faye some of my pieces to finish - goodness knows I haven't been in the mood to "finish" them myself lately! ;-) lol See you soon!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day!
I love LK too and still recognize her after all these years (of not stitching). I'm just getting back into it again, eyes permitting, and love your stitching. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing, Karen! I love cubes, too, because of the no-sew factor. One of these days, I'll learn how to do a flat fold. Hope mine come out as well as yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the finishes. I look forward to doing a few more cubes ... I've only actually finished one but have a handful of finishes that I want to finish that way.
ReplyDeleteThose are both great Karen. I really like the plaid and check backings - makes them pop!
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute~~~ I am a huge LK fan too~~ And those bows are perfect~~Nice job~~~ Faye
ReplyDeleteThose are 2 of my favorites, They sure turned out nice. Love the red ribbon bows and the plaid.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so cute! Great finishing!
ReplyDeleteI seen your wonderful pic of this on the thumbnail I have on my blog list and clicked on it immediately! I love these!! You did an excellent job with the finishing!! I have done By Golly Be Jolly and it was so much fun. Another one I have done is Just Be Claus. I am still trying to find the finishing fabric that I bought for that one! Another one I'd like to do is the one where Santa is wearing stripped pj's and is holding a lantern. I think that one is called To All A Good Night? I just love that one too! Wouldn't these Santa's look cute as Christmas purses?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Both finished off perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how hard it is to tie a bow just right. Beautiful finishes!
ReplyDeleteVery festive ... both are beautifully stitched and finished. I have never tried a cube finish ... and have always sewn rather than pinned or glued my finishes ... but with all the buzz about cubes, I may finally have to try one!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any cubes or flat-folds yet - yours look wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching and finishing - they are so cute!
ReplyDeleteCute finishes! Congratulations on your recent winnings!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Karen! LOVE them :o)
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, you are far away from any stitching and finishing slump, aren't you?! Lol. So many finishes lately. I have just admired the ornaments and Carolina that you show in your last posts. And now even some more finished pieces. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow Lizzie*Kate lover, I think those are darling. I will start stiching soon, I will start stitching soon!! If I come here more often, I bet I would!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely! I love the fabrics you picked!
