August Finishes

Had some finishes since we got back.. Hot weather and the Olympics on TV give me plenty of time to stitch.

Freedom House by Little House Needleworks

I enjoyed this piece.  I just used a "scrap" piece of 32 count ivory jazlyn that I did a light stain using coffee.  The fabric is not as "aged" as I would like, but I am pretty happy with it.

  I will probably do a flat wall hanging for this one.  I do not think I really want to frame it.

Wicked is as Wicked Does by Waxing Moon

This is on 32 county linen in Copper Penny.

I did a little bit of backstitching on the hat where the grey was and I changed the cat to a darker grey and added whiskers.  He looked a little naked without whiskers. I backstitched the spiders on the bottom with a darker grey as they were not standing out too well.    I covered a stretched canvas that I had in orange fabric, put the piece on a peace of foam board, glued it all together and think I will be sending this off to my niece who is in college in Illinois.  It looks a little plain jane, but I have never claimed to be a good finisher!

I have to give a shout out to Vonna Pheifer, the Twisted Stitcher,  for her tutorials that gave me the courage to give it a try.

Am working on framing the Blue Heron piece and will share that when I get it done.  Had a little snafu with the frame, but that is another story.

Thanks so much for visiting.
