My First Finishing Attempt

Well here is my first ever attempt at doing my own finishing! It is My First Sewing Box and Fob chart by The Stitching Parlor. The original chart was done with a green box and green fabric. I was not able to find the green box mine is yellow. This was charted to fit inside a Whitman's Sampler candy tin. It was a fun stitch and I was able to get it finishe with little problem. I did have the fob stitched too but when I tried to finish it I made a boo boo so I threw it out and will re-stitch and try again. Be sure to click on it to get a better look.
I have the grandson's here overnight and I didn't get a change to start anything new until late. As usual I had a hard time choosing the next one. I finally decided on the Peacock Pinkeep Loose Feather from earlier this year. I am working on the alphabet band and hope to finish it tomorrow since we have an all day stitch group. Should be fun.

Happy Stitching NO Ripping!

Congratulations on your Whitman's tin finish, it looks amazing. I have both yellow and green tins, so I ought to get the chart and make a start. I love your Blackbird Designs sampler wall too, I have stitched a fair few of the same ones, but mine are mixed in with other designers. When I redecorate I should make a Blackbird Designs wall too.

That is such a lovely, lovely needle box. The stitching and finishing are perfect.
Your stitching wall looks great. What a wonderful accomplishment!

Peg, you did a super great job with that box. And if you do restitch the fob, send it to me and I'll get it finished up for you-or I can walk you through it. You're getting good at your finishing.
hugs
