Finishing Day
Today I had a finishing day! I didn't really get to my ornaments like I probably should of but I was productive!
My friend Rebecca's Mom, Sylvia asked me to help her finish two fall pieces into flat folds. We've not been able to cross paths for me to show her how to do it. So I did the finishing for her. Also because I'm picky about how things look they can be a bit of work! I know many people glue-stretch their pieces and glue the pieces together. I prefer the neater more seamless look using Judy O'Dell's instructions which involve actually stretching and stitching the pieces together.
The looked a little lost without anything on them so I dug through my stash to find the right floss colour, and I made cord to go around both the boy and the girl.
I also did the finishing on TW's Byzantine Ornament #1 I'm VERY pleased with how this turned out.
I made another floss tag as well! I've got to hit Staples tomorrow and get some more rings!
It was a busy finishing day!

ReplyDeleteYou WERE a busy stitcher. Everything looks great. I particularly like the cording around the Byzantine ornament. That is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, Dani.
ReplyDeleteHey Dani, love the flatfolds! I've been eyeing another way to finish them that looks neater than the glue does, can you tell me where you found the instructions you used??? Many thanks,Angela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes.
ReplyDeleteWow you were busy. All your finishes are gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! I love how the Byzantine ornament came out
ReplyDeleteGreat finishing! I wish i had the motivation to have a finishing day
ReplyDeleteGreat flatfolds! You had a really productive day for sure. I love the TW ornament. Do I see some bling in the cording on that one? It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteDani, your finishing is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree that you had a very productive finishing day ... love the Teresa Wentzler ornament and the floss tag. You enable more than you know. After a year of stitching mostly ornaments in 2010, I had thought to concentrate on mostly larger pieces this year ... but I find myself coveting those Byzantine ornaments.
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful finishing skills. Those flatfolds are so perfect! And the TW piece looks even more gorgeous now that it's ready to hang.
ReplyDeleteDani - Thanks for the great finish
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes, but I particularly love the TW ornie!
