Here are some photos of the lovely finished pieces that some of you have been sweet enough to show to me! I love seeing them, and I'm just sorry it's taken me so long to post them – I also think I may be missing a few pictures, bc I have so many folders on my computer that I drop things into, and I imagine some of them may have ended up in the wrong place?
The first one here is from Patty… it's the freebie "Hares' Visit." Beautiful stitching, Patty! 🙂
And here we have Marie-Odile's "J is for Jacob." Great job! Are you excited for Eclipse to come out?
Next up is Sylvia's "Be True" freebie… You did a wonderful job on it, and I'm really smitten with that little cat. 🙂
And from one of the sweetest people I "know," here is Faye's "Hares' Lucky Day." I love it, Faye!!
This is Nancy's version of "Hares' Lucky Day," and the vintage lace she used for the trim is gorgeous… I wish I could find some, bc I'd use it for everything! I have some very old tatting my great-grandmother made, but I just can't bear to sew it onto anything. Anyway, thank you, Nancy!
Btw, here's my great-grandmother's tatting…
I love this finish by Nicole! This is her "Hares' Fathers Day."
I'm honored that my very-first-ever-cyber-friend, Chris, even finished one! I've been begging her to get a blog for some time now, bc she has such an eye for vignettes and color. Here is her "Be True" finish – stitched over one, along with another stitched piece (Blackbird Designs?) that I absolutely love. (And don't be surprised if eventually you see a model photo of mine with lots and lots of buttons in it.. I just love that idea!)
And lastly, I wanted to show you this amazing hooked rug by Mel… She took the "Hares' Easter Blessings" freebie and had it converted for hooking! I love it and can't wait until she's finished!
Thank you all so much for sending your photos to me.. I enjoy each and every one of them! Again, if you've sent me something and somehow I've missed it, I sincerely apologize.
I hope you've had a chance to take a look at The Needlework Show site!

Wonderful!! I enjoyed seeing them, and I especially love your grandmother’s tatting!! I totally agree — hold onto it as it is. It’s precious stuff, that.
Nancy
How fun to see all the different finishes! Everyone has their own way of finishing, and it is so inspirational.
I love your grandmother’s tatting! Since it is sentimental I wouldn’t use it either. I have some blue tatting I found at an estate sale. Haven’t used it yet, but I probably will.

I love how your Grandmother’s tatting is so special to you as a keepsake. I do tatting and bobbinlace myself. Nobody did it in my family. Why I do all the different stuff I do is beyond me. I just know for me all of my “Keeping my hands and brain” is therapy. I love your designs by the way.
