Quiet Saturday

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....

  11. 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.

    I look forward to seeing more and reading more in the future :)

  12. Hi Melody,

    Nice 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.
