Always nice to share the fruits of my customer’s.  Finishers include Marlene’s custom pillows, Chery’s Needlework Finishing. Last to pillows, Medieval pillow and Beth Russell Georgian pillow finished by customers.

Libby Sturdy has some great Santa’s.  They come line drawn on the canvas with extensive stitch guides.  Available through Sundance Designs http://www.sundancedesignsonline.com/catalog.php?LimitRows=all

One of several eggs available though Lee Needlearts.  Often finished on much larger forms with ruched sides and lots of fru fur on top Miriam prefers the minimal.  As most of my customers do.  From what I understand its mostly in the Northeast part of the country that prefers minimal embellisment on finishing.  These little stands are great for turning any ornament into a simple stand-up.

I love when a music box is placed inside a pillow.  Some music box workings are better than others and if important, don’t skimp on the quality. I like the use of the angora on the cloud.

Can you say Patience?  All done in cross stitch from a chart.  Scarlet Letter makes wonderful historic reproduction charts.  Not sure if this is just a detail taken from a larger chart.  All stitched in DMC.

    Dear Linda and Denise, I miss you both. If Sharon comes again shall I let you know? If so would you be looking to do something specific with her? Hope you both have been well.
