Grab bag
Several years ago RJ had the fortune to visit the Shepherds Bush shop in Ogden, Utah. She surprised me with this adorable kit. I immediately stitched it and then it languished in a drawer. I decided that it needed to come out for this 4th of July. This was my first attempt at sewing beads to a ruffled trim. It was challenging but I'm satisfied with the final result for a first effort.

Oh that little 4th of July pillow is precious, Mary. Loved seeing the pretty stitching of other Stitching Friends. I sure miss my stitching group, North Alabama Stitchers.
ReplyDeleteI just love your finish, Mary--you did a wonderful job on the beads and ruffled trim! And your little beachy-themed June finish is darling, too. It was fun to see Marilyn's, Robin's and Faith's stitching--each one is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of RJ and hoping she can rejoin you very soon. Sending hugs and love to both of you ♥
Mary, your SB finish is just darling. You did a great job with the finishing. I've not tried a ruched ribbon edge before. Love the beads with it!

Mary, your SB piece is wonderful and you did a great job on the beaded ruching! Marilyn, Robin and Faith, I enjoyed seeing your projects...well done all around. RJ, you are missed ...hope to 'see' you back real soon! Wishes for a safe 4th and calm summer!

ReplyDeleteThinking of and continuing to pray for RJ! Wishing you both a peaceful 4th of July!
Mary, your “True Heart” finish is wonderful! I love the loose, playful ribbon attached with the beads. Inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are featuring stitching from non-bloggers. Marilyn’s spring pillow is adorable, and Robin’s “Choose Joy” is very pretty. I love the frame.
Have a wonderful July! Sending happy thoughts to you and RJ.
Oh! I forgot to mention that your SAL is sweet! Faith’s stitching is super cute. Glad she is joining you on this fun SAL.
ReplyDeleteMeilleurs vœux à RJ.
ReplyDeleteLa finition du coussinet est magnifique. En effet ça ne doit pas être facile de coudre ce ruban froncé et des perles, mais le résultat est splendide.
Les broderies de Marylin de Robin sont jolies, bravo à elles.
Merci pour la grille Two become one, je suis ravie. C'est une très belle surprise. Je vous envoie un mail avec mon adresse postale. Les frais d'envoi pour la France sont très élevés aussi je comprendrais très bien que vous l'offriez à une autre personne demeurant dans un pays moins lointain.
Amitiés de France,
Christel

I just love the Fourth of July piece you stitched up and the beads on the ruffles look great. I love how you did the HOD June piece. Eliminating the flags was a good idea. Robin and Marilyn have some pretty pieces too! Send RJ my love and good thoughts Mary and have a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteMary, it's beautiful your 4th of July, perfect finishing! And also the stitching of your nonblogger friends!
ReplyDeleteBe safe and take care! Regards to RJ, I hope She is feeling better now.
