Stitching

Finishes!

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.

    They all look so great! I love the rug as well – I hope we all get to see it when it is finished!!

    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.
