Barbara emailed me today and said that she had received my Spring Exchange piece that I stitched for her and that she was VERY happy with it, so that made me very happy too.
This is from the Sarah Tobias book by Blackbird designs, I have stitched it all on 35ct cream linen and used a mixture of DMC and WDW.
I added the scissor fob, by using one of the tulips and birds and added the year and Barbaras initials. To make it a little more unique I have blanket stitched around the edges of the pin cushion and the fob, its not meant to be evenly blanket stitched, its meant to be a little rougher to give it a less romantic look, I strived for a more rustic look, anyway whatever the final look is, Barb's happy with the finished result and thats the important thing.

Pretty pillow and fob Su! Is this a sign that Spring is near?
I love your pillow and fob. I did part of the design for an exchange earlier. It certainly was hard to send off!
I love your pillow and fob. I stitched a portion of this design for an exchange earlier in the year. It certainly was difficult to let it go.
O Wow! Who wouldn't be happy with those?! They are gorgeous as are all your stitching. I mean, I can stitch, but it's the finishing part which is still new to me. I guess the more you do, the better you'll get, right?
Oh Su! This is one of design that I want to stitch very much!

How can you stitch and finish so beautifully?

Stunning finishes Su! The blanket stitch looks wonderful...I love how that "rustic" blanket stitch complements your beautiful stitching!!!
They are beautiful finishes! Like Melissa, I'm not as familiar with finishing as I am with stitching, so I admire those that finish their pieces in such lovely ways.
Those are just gorgeous - another book to buy. ;)
