I couldn't find yesterday. I took a couple progress pictures and some additional pictures of 'Think Summer' after completing the finishing.
First up... Blue Ribbon Design's 'Peppermint Twist'. I keep plugging away at this one, even though it's a very sloooooow go. 40count..... ick. I would have thought this would stitch up fast, but not when you can't see where you're going.
CCN's 'A Bee C Sampler' gets a stitch or 2 every now and again.
I took a much better photo of Lizzie Kate's 'Think Summer' but then I finish-finished it that same day...
I chose just one fabric since it pulled all the colors from the design, but didn't overwhelm it like a patchwork border appeared to.
I had a few seashell pins that I tucked into it.
I also had some fun flip flop fabric I used for the back. I put a little pocket on the top so I could hang it in the event the perfect hanger came along.
Not bad for someone who feels like she's been hit by a major stitching slump?
Now, if I could just figure out why it looks wonky when I take a picture.... because it's really nice and straight in real life......
Your LK is darling!! Beautiful job of finishing (don't you love how the camera makes some of our finishes look wonky at times--wish I could figure that out, too!).
ReplyDeleteI've never tried stitching on 40ct.--hang in there! Your Peppermint Twist will be worth all the squinting :)
Love the flip flop fabric. That project came out cute.
ReplyDeleteThe WIP's look great, I love 40ct linen
ReplyDeleteThe finish turned out fantastic, it's so sweet
