Tried Something New















Here is my latest finish - it is for an exchange; and the object was to try something new. So, I tried a bunch of new things; and here is my final project. I expect my work will improve as I get more practice. Does anyone have any tips for joining linen with fabric backing without one or the other going askew?

I am really enjoying the Nashville Previews - I've already placed one pre-order and am working on my second. As if I really *need* more stash!!!

Again, my DS tore himself away from his computer game to take these photos for me.

Happy stitching, Margaret

It looks great Margo! Are those pins or beads along the edge part?

Wow - it is gorgeous! I backstitch several stitches out from my stitched piece, and then pin on the backing fabric. I think use the row right under my backstitching as my guide to keep a straight stitching line, so that the backstitching I did ends up on the inseam... can explain better via email if you wish!

wow, I love this finishing. You did a great job. Did you use "foam core" to make the shape or you just used the regular "stuffing" material. Well done.
