Finishing Friday: Great Works

Today's Finishing Friday isn't really about the making up of a finished project, it's about finishing a major project.   Connie has finished an original project inspired by the quilters of Gees Bend.  Follow the links to see more photos.

Jan has finished a very large patchwork rug that she bought partly started years ago.  She picked it up in 2010, determined to slowly finish it.  And she did!  What a labor of love!

Another Wonderful Ornament Exchange

Many guilds do an ornament exchange for Christmas, but one shop--Pocket Full of Stitches--has their own exchange among the great folks who work at the shop. Take a look at the photos from their 2013 Christmas party?! There is a photo of each happy recipient and their ornament, plus a closeup of all but one of them AND they identify the designer so you can stitch one, too.

What fun!  Thanks for sharing, PFOS!
