And now it's time to show off what we might have managed to fully finish from our drawers of shame! Or if you're a one-at-a-time stitcher and finish everything as you finish stitching, please share your wisdom. :D I'm not saying I'll start doing it, but I'd like to know how you manage it. This is a great idea to get us fully finishing things and is hosted by the incomparable Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher. Please check her post for everyone else's finishes as well.
Since I didn't blog a lot in the last half of the year, I do have a few things to show. Some were in my finishes post, and the rest are here:
Plaid Tidings by Little Stitch Girl stitched as charted DMC except the trees, stash Dinky Dyes oops thread, 2 over 2 on 28ct Tempest by Chromatic Alchemy
This was my first ever flat-fold! I used Vonna/Twisted Stitcher's tutorial and it went very well. I had to use DH's paper cutter for the mat board and that was much better than the circular tool I was using. I think I will be able to accomplish this more now that I have one completed and I really like the look of it.
Ye Old Santa by Mill Hill, finished with a cord from leftover kit threads and felt glued on the back.
Caffeine and Chaos by Circus Stitches stitched with WDW threads 2 over 2 on 28ct Bacchus by Chromatic Alchemy
I'm fairly certain I forgot to post this finish on my 2019 finish post. Whoops! It was so quick and fun to stitch as well. I gifted it to a friend that lives up to this phrase. The box was an older one from BendyStitchy destash on Instagram. FYI, it's a dangerous place.
And that's it for fully finished objects since my last FFO post. I hope you've all done very well! (said as Young Mr. Grace from Are You Being Served? as that's always the voice I hear when that phrase is said or read).
Happy Stitching,
Tiffstitch
Great finishes! I made a few flat folds a thousand years ago. I need to try again.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. I love the tartan you used for the cottage, a very good match! I've not make a flatfold. That's something to do this year.
ReplyDeleteSanta is lovely but I'm afraid I run on Coffee and Order!
Love the flatfold, that is a finish I have never tried myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat flatfold finish, your Santa is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric and braid you chose perfect, I love flat-folds.
ReplyDeleteThe little Santa is adorable.

Very cute finishes. I love your flatfold finish.
ReplyDeleteThe flatfold finish is awesome, Tiff. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in this month! I've never tried a flatfold finish either but as yours looks so awesome (LOVE the backing fabric) I might have to pop over to Vonna's tutorial and give it a try. Love your other two finishes too. Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteI stitch one at a time, and still don't FFO! Got a piece ready for framing, tucked away. I love your flatfold finish x
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! I love your flatfold, it reminds me that I really wanted to try and make on of these myself.
ReplyDeleteYour first ever flat fold looks great! Your Santa is so sweet and your three C's are a laugh!
