Guest Blogging and a Flat Finish

My first guest post for "Stitching the Night Away" is up today.  You can read it here.

I got up the courage to attempt to turn my Holly Heart Mill Hill piece into a flat finish.  I left 1/2" around the sides and I was able to flip it successfully without damaging anything.  It's looking nice.  I didn't put a kickstand in the back but next time I'm at SCRAP, I'll be looking for some nice border cording.



Can you believe Thursday is Thanksgiving?  I totally forgot!

  2. Congrats on a great finish - the beads really add to the sparkle. I do love a Christmas stitch :)

  3. Very pretty ornament finish! I'll have to try that someday.

    I knew it was Thanksgiving when I saw everyone at the store with turkeys and potatoes in their carts!

    1. Hi Debbie,

      It's actually not an ornament. It's just going to stand on my shelf like a pillow.

      Better get your fixings now because the Wal-Mart last year ran out of flour and sugar. It was sad. And Kroger was unusually busy at non peak hours.
