Stitching Update!

[aelfie]

I finished something! Woo Hoo!

Actually I finished several somethings.

I've finally finished Fleur des Anges. W00t! And here's the finished pick.



I am so happy to have that finished. Lets see, its on Zweigart's Antique White 32ct linen, stitched with Gloriana's Lucky Old Sun and Caron Soie Crystal color number 6002. I changed the center motif on the very last row to include my initials and the date (it was supposed to be a repeat of the motifs on either side of it, but the colors swapped.) I started this thing last February, and I finished it on 5/29/2008. If I can get it framed in time, I'll enter it in this years county fair.

Last month when I got so frustrated with it, I decided to make a scissor fob from the kit that I had. Well, there was so much material, I made two.


The one that is upside down looks like this


The kit was for the castle, I decided one was enough and found a motif in my library and used that instead.

Please tell me what scissor fobs are for. Whatever their purpose, you have made two lovely ones. Fleur des Anges will be a family heirloom. It's beautiful.

Scissor Fobs are for hanging off one of finger holes on a pair of scissors...some people have a habit of losing/misplacing small embroidery scissors (like me) and if you put a fob of some sort on it, it can make it easier to find.

I found a pic, for an example
