Couple Final Finishes

My vacation has ended and I need to return to work today. I can't complain, I feel refreshed and rested! It was really nice to have a week at home; I accomplished many things around the house, enjoyed getting together with friends, and finished up some stitching projects. It was a good week!

Couple more finishes to share:

I finished thio Lizzie Kate design into a pillow; the stitching was done several months ago.



And, the finish that really makes me HAPPY - the box top for my BBD class project from the Stitchville / Blackbird Designs retreat in April. I'm including a picture to show you the inside of the box (although the inside was completed at the retreat.) I stitched the top piece on Saturday evening/Sunday morning and mounted it on the box Sunday night.




One last hot day in Minnesota and then things are going to cool down. Yippee! Hope you have a great day!

    Wow!!!!! Cathy, I just read your blog from July up to Aug 23rd post and I am AMAZED at your stitching and finishing. I have been away from the blogging world so much this summer and am trying to get caught up. I just LOVE all of your BBD designs. You have done a wonderful job on all of them. Our DD went off to college this year also. I too have the "empty" house but am looking forward to some "me" time to stitch.
    Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful projects and your stitching retreats/photos. I have thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
