This is a design from The Drawn Thread. I stitched it a couple of years ago and used some buttons that I found at a quilting store. The original design calls for various shapes and sizes of white buttons. This is going to be a Christmas gift for someone special.

Next up, one of my BBD Loose Feather finishes from earlier this year. I love the colors in this design and I think the frame nicely compliments those colors.

The pictures don't really do these pieces justice! Now I need to find the appropriate place to display them.
Today is a holiday for me - an extended weekend due to the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. While many are out participating in the shopping frenzy trying to take advantage of the Black Friday deals, I am planning to stay home and enjoy the peacefulness of my home, listen to some Christmas music and work on finishing various needlework pieces!
Happy Stitching!
Thanks for sharing your framed finishes. They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it always a thrill to get the beauties back home! Lovely, each and every one, thx for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous finishes! How exciting! You have the right idea about staying home and settling in for the season!!!! Have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I really like the red buttons on the DT piece much better than the white ones in the model - tucking that idea away for 'someday'. It's so exciting to get our framed pieces back isn't it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday weekend!
