Essy's Friends



Lois from Elegant Stitch sends one of these kits each month and I'm months behind in stitching and finishing, so when I was home earlier this week trying to nurse my cold I though I could make a dent in my collection of Essy's Friends kits. As you can see, I completed three of them - from left to right, Drawn Thread, Glory Bee, and Indigo Rose.

As I look at this picture, however, I'm realizing that I finished the Indigo Rose scissors sheath upside down! Moral of the story - don't tackle new finishing techniques when you are sick!

I am sorry to hear you're ill. Are you feeling better now? I hope so! Your upside down scissor pocket makes me laugh! Just stitch a cord on the other end, and it's an unusual ornament. ;>

Your finishing is all wonderful, as always Cathy. Sorry to hear that you've been under the weather - hope you feel better real soon!

Nice job, Cathy! I'm behind on my Essy kits, too. Like Karen, if you hadn't mentioned it, I probably never would have noticed the scissor sheath was upside down. :-)

Love all your finishes. I would have never guessed you had one upside down! Shhhhh! Just don't tell next time! Tee hee!

Love all of them! I have the ESSY's kits and haven't done one yet! So I better get busy!
Your stitching and finishing is beautiful. I love the Love pillow, so cute! Your scissor pocket is divine even if it's finished upside down.

Hope you are feeling better ... I think your three kits look beautiful.

Does it make a difference in the scissor sheath? It really looks nice in your photograph.

They all look fantastic Cathy! You've inspired me to get mine out again!

Took me a little bit to see how in the world you got that project upside down, lol! I'd let you finish anything of mine even if you were sick as a dog with the flu! :D

Nice work on the Essy's. Put a long cord on that scissor sheath to hang it around your neck and then it will be right side up to you when you look down at it. Problem solved!
I love the Essy's, but they do come at you a little fast some months.
Feel better soon.

They're very cute, and I can't tell the Indigo Rose design is upside down :)
