Weighted Stand Up



Here are the results from the weighted stand up finishing class I took on Saturday. When I registered for the class I was the only one signed up and they thought it might be cancelled so I didn't stitch anything special, I just figured I'd use something out of my stash of stitched items. This particular design from HIH isn't really suitable for a weighted stand up, but it worked enough to help me understand the steps to constructing one. We decided to arch the top and then I added the bow. I'll make another one sometime soon and try to document the steps for you. It wasn't too difficult!

It looks great. What do you use for weights? I have a Prairie Schooler leaflet that says to use fishing weights.

I'm really looking forward to your descriptions on how to do it ... I've got "Needle Nick" by Lizzie*Kate in my stash ready for stitching, and it's a stand-up design ... in fact I've just checked, and it doesn't have any finishing instructions at all ... mutter mutter mutter :( Yup, could definitely use your instructions!! :D Your class piece looks lovely, BTW too :D
