The shop did fabulous needlepoint framing, built lovely boxes, and made great wooden stands for our stitching.  We wish them a very happy time in retirement.

Finishing Friday: The Fuzzies

Linda B. just got two wonderful ornaments back from her finisher. They are spectacular! Beautifully stitched, Linda.

I'm pretty sure the polar bear ornament is from Melissa Shirley but I am not sure about the snowman. He might be from Ruth Schmuff....

The finishing is out of this world.  The little fuzzy bumps, the colorful braid, the "just enough and not too much" ribbons--I love them!

For those who are into a different style, check out the two finished pieces customers of Eye Candy sent to Ada Hayden to enjoy!  The finishing from West Coast Finishing and Mountain Shadow Studio show you why they both have a reputation for excellence!

And finally, here are your Christmas sweaters and Christmas flamingos.  LOL

A Ralph Lauren Vest in Needlepoint

Mountain Shadow Studio stumbled across this on Etsy and shared the photo on Facebook. I had no idea that Ralph Lauren did needlepoint vests!

I did a little hunting and found needlepoint belts-
