I wanted to share a picture of some small projects that I finished recently. My sister was home and assisted in the finish work. She has a talent for that! She also made the table runner you can see in the background. But, I was pleased with them all. The Prairie Schooler snowman basket was a Christmas gift to someone in my stitching group.
This was also my first attempt at making cording from floss. I will have to remember how to do this and make some more the next time I need some for finishing. It is so much easier to work with than the glossy nylon braid you purchase at the fabric store.
I am thrilled to have some followers and commenters to my blog. Welcome!
Happy Stitching....

Beautiful finishes. Welcome to the blogging world. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! It's always so nice when they are "fully" done.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful finishes! You and your sister are both very talented!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland, Melody! BeckySC told me you were here!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is just lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Welcome to the blogging community! I love the pictures you have shared so far, everything looks fantastic! I agree that your sister has a talent for finishing. I don't even try because I can't do it very well (things like cubes, or easels). I can do little pillows, but that is about it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more and reading more in the future :)
Hi Melody,
ReplyDeleteNice start to your blog. When I started mine a year and a half ago, I started a Picasa album (owned by Google as well and it's already connected to your blogger) and there's this great gadget that lets you show a slideshow of pictures. I have it showing my finishes but you can make it show just about anything.

ReplyDeleteHello from a fellow librarian, Melody!! I just want to say welcome to the stitching/blogging world... Your stitching and cording are lovely. I've never tried making my own cording, but plan on doing so soon :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely finishes! I love them all -- great job on the finishing and cording!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the community of bloggers! I am grateful to have found you, I really love the look of your background!!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes indeed, isn't it wonderful to finally have those unfinished pieces come to live with their 'clothes'?
