It's been a productive couple weeks...I have been very focused in my studio working on all sorts of customer projects. Last week, I completed all the
Blue Ribbon Finishing orders that had been sent my way...yep, it was a fabulous finishing frenzy. I managed to snap photos of some of the projects, so I thought I would share an assortment of the beautiful needlework pieces my customers trusted me to finish...designers/chart titles are listed with each photo and stitched names/initials are blurred for privacy...

Aren't they all beautiful?...some of these projects are now on my personal wishlist - like the gorgeous
Shepherd's Bush scissor fob (isn't the ribbon they kitted with it perfect?!)...it makes me smile!
I have also been doing TONS of sewing/quilting for customers, as well. I finished up a lovely spring table runner, a plethora of patriotic table runners and toppers, and an appliqué project for AccuQuilt....I even have several of my own sewing/quilting designs completed and ready for pattern writing (woo hoo!). Next up, a special throw quilt featuring the Ohio Star block, two appliqué wall hangings, a set of six quilted placemats and napkins, a fabulous/detailed appliqué quilt, and two wall hangings that feature machine embroidery...hmmmm - I may need a magic wand to get it all completed!
...oh, and did I mention, in my spare time I am stitching this year's
exclusive fundraising design for my
Komen 3-Day 60-mile walk...and it is "oh so special"...I can't wait to share it with you...maybe I will post a peek soon...
...and yes, I am walking daily...putting lots of training miles in the heat and humidity...and Schatzi is keeping up with me! Thanks to a WONDERFUL donation, my airline flights to Dallas are booked and paid for...now to work on getting two new pairs of shoes and a replacement air mattress. November will be here before we know it, so I better get to stitching on my fundraising design - I have a long way to go to reach my goal!
I'll be back soon to share some of my recent sewing and quilting projects with you...
I oh so love your finishings on all the customer projects.... And yes the Shepherd's Bush design is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou have indeed been busy and by the sounds of it it's not letting up either.... It must be wonderful to do what you love everyday.
Yes it's sounds like you certainly do need a little more time in each day, looking forward to seeing your new designs :)
Big smiles :)
Beautiful finishing. The Shepherd's Bush is indeed gorgeous.
