Hummingbird Triangle Scissors Case Finish by Hazel

Look at these beautiful photos of the Hummingbird Triangle Scissors Case stitched by Hazel!

She stitched it on Silkweaver opalescent 32 count in Stardust and said the effect is amazing. She said she thought she would use a different count fabric if she did it again, as the scissors only just fit into the pocket. It was Hazel's first triangle case and I thought she did a marvelous job of it!!Thanks so much, Hazel for sharing the lovely photos of your gorgeous finish!

Friendship Heart Stitched by Zaini

Zaini stitched the Friendship Heart and finished it as a cute floss tag! The pink ring tag really sets it off don't you think? I think she did a beautiful job on it and as always, I really appreciate seeing the photos of the finished piece. Thanks, Zaini!!

Scissors Fob Photos from Berit

I'm sooo proud of Berit - she did such a great job on this, her first, scissor fob!! I love the way she changed the colors to match the scissors. Berit is a new stitcher so this is a special accomplishment for her - her first completely finished project. We all know there is a big difference in stitching and stitching and finishing (I am one of the worst about this!) Thanks, Berit, for Stitching and Sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing more great finishes to come!
