Found this perfect navey textured cotton pillow and stuffed it, then blind stitched by hand the design on it.
Stitched a charm on it
And now it sits in my honey's chair.

Oh WOW I love the way you finished this design. I stitched this one for us also. I may have to start thinking of ways to finish it.
ReplyDeleteTake Care!
Love the rustic finishing on this one. You are fast. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is lovely. How do you have so many finishes? I have such a difficult time finishing my projects. I am always so tired when I get home from work. I have Tea With Jane Austen that I want to get started on. Do you have any advice on how to finish the projects?

I love the finish you did on this design..perfect!
ReplyDeleteHow PERFECT! Great piece!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful finish for a great design!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Great Job and Congratulations on your finish!
ReplyDeleteWow Jennifer - I love what you did with that piece - so much better than framing! It's always good to see different alternatives to framing which can be sooo expensive!
ReplyDeleteBEEutiful :)
ReplyDeleteThe pillow is beautiful, Jennifer. I need to start doing some pillows and less smalls with my finishes.
ReplyDeleteLove the spools you found on your "Thrifty Thursday" trip.
Take Care.
Happy Stitching ... Sandy
Very pretty! I have this chart also, and I have been trying to decide what color to use. I love how you made it into a pillow. Very nice finish!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish Jennifer! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow with stitchdesign is great!
ReplyDeleteWow, super stitcher gone wild! You are a fast stitcher, and more impressive is that you finish your pieces! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a cute little pile of my finished pieces just sitting patiently in a drawer. I really need to get on the stick and get them finished so I can enjoy them. I have 2 daughters, aged 31 and 25 and neither of them like cross stitched pieces and have told me when I pass on from this life, it's to Goodwill they go! Sad day!
B-e-a-utiful! (think Jim Carrey in Bruce Almighty).
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jennifer!!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, that is so sad but I can relate and I actually have it in my will that all stitching pieces go to a local battered women's shelter. I don't think my kids would have the appreciation of the value of such pieces.
