10,000 visitor and Assisi embroidery update

As commenter Hillery noticed on my previous post I missed my 10,000th visitor not my 1,000th. My husband will tell you I am digitally challenged at times, but usually I add the extra zero not leave it out!

Here are two pictures of my final project for the GCC I am working on. The top is how far I had gotten by the end of the day on Aug. 26 and the next photo is the finished project. I worked on it this am during my EGA Saturday group meeting. Next I need to clean them up a bit, press them and send them off for the critique.  I used the design Marion gave us. I just did not have time to work one up for myself.





Also, on the 17th Blu asked how I was going to finish these. I am not sure. I may keep the thimbles with the instructions as a reference or make them into small pincushions or maybe sew them together and frame them or make a small wall hanging. Any ideas? They are not very big. I left the needle in the final piece for a size reference (top left corner). Also, if I recall I cut the fabric for the final piece approx. 6 inches square. The thimbles are smaller maybe 2.5" x2.5". I may frame the butterfly piece and put it in my studio - unless it clashes too much with the peach painted walls I have in there!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

  1. Beautiful stitching. Would like to see how you finish this. No pressure. I'm not quick on the finishing part.

  3. Very pretty finish.
    Maybe a small wall hanging? Or a bunch of tiny cubes?
