More Examples of Finishing

I'm rushing to squeeze in one more post about finishing as Enriched Stitch is offering ten percent off finishing turned into the shop in June. This article also shows off a wide range of finishing styles and tells you just what finisher created it, always useful if you are trying to find a finisher whose talents match your vision.

Hide and Seek

Stephanie takes us on a tour of her house, showing off where her canvases live. Mine are in the coat closet in the breezeway or in storage in the attic except for the current project, which lies carefully wrapped on the dining room table during the day.  How about you?

Railroading

While I've been working on my current Top Secret piece I've been railroading.  Ever heard of it?

Here's what the Cross Stitch guide at About.com says about railroading.

Joni Stevenson has some wonderful things to say about laying threads that really apply here.
