Sharing Finishes

Hi Everyone!!

Back again! You are probably wondering what more 

could she have to say after the last lengthy post.

Well, a couple of nice people have shared

with me how they finished some of my designs.

The freebie "Boo Tyme" has been finished in

the most charming way by Faye Riggsbee. 

Here is the link to her equally charming Blog.

 www.carolinastitcher.blogspot.com.  

She also has the picture of my "Joyful Autumn" design

that you must see.  It was stitched by Berit as an 

Autumn exchange for Faye.  Go to the bottom of this
 Blog post to see it.  How pretty!  Don't you love 
that ribbon.  To see more of Berit's wonderful
finishes click here

Some things are just timeless and samplers are a

prime example.  Years ago, in 1984,  I reproduced 

 my first antique sampler.  It is a Pennsylvania 

sampler and I titled it simply, Unfinished Sampler,

because that is what it is.  That does not take

away from the charm of it, it just makes you

wonder why it was never finished.  Joy from

www.countingbitsofjoy.blogspot.com

has shown wonderful pictures of her stitching and

 how she aged the sampler.  She used coffee, kitchen

 bouquet, matches and sand paper.  It is just great.

You would never know it was not an antique.

Pretty scary how good we are getting at this

aging thing.  Here is one of the pictures.

Please visit her wonderful blog to see more.
This design is still available if anyone is interested.

And here is the picture of Berit's model of my
"Joyful Autumn" as I mentioned above.

If anyone else has pictures of their finishes, please send

them along in an email.  I would love to show them.

Thank all of you for liking my designs.

Many Happy Stitches,

Sandra
