Finishing (Professional and Amateur)

One thing all needlepointers have in common is that once our project is done, it either has to be finished or it goes into a pile hidden away in a closet or under the bed.  Pocket Full of Stitches has just posted photographs of finished models that came to their shop with the Zecca trunk show. I've never seen items finished these ways before!  If you want to see inventive ways to make up small canvases, check this out.

If you want to do your own finishing, Tara found this great picture tutorial on making a stitched box on The Magpie Stitches blog.  Thanks for the tip, Tara!
