The finisher who created this is Vikki's Stuff. Here is her website. I didn't find the corset there, sadly.

Many thanks to Bettie for spotting this and for Cynthia who knew the finisher who created it.

Amy's Newsletter for August 2016
Labels:

Vikki's Stuff
This month's newsletter for Amy Bunger's shop is a real keeper. First, Amy profiles Vikki Pinson, owner of Vikki's Stuff, a needlepoint finishing company that Amy uses often. You'll love seeing Vikki's unusual finishing for common needlepoint shapes! Here's Vikki's website.

Then Amy talks about how to use Ultrasuede on needlepoint canvases. Trust me, it's easy. Take one ply of cotton floss in the same color as your Ultrasuede, then find a tiny but sharp needle. (I use beading needles.) Then just put tiny stitches around the margins of your shape to attach it to the canvas, either over padding or not as you like. Easy!

I think this is one newsletter I'm going to print out and save.

Finishing and Finishers
Finishing and finishers are always a subject of fascination to me. I thought it might be helpful to post information about finishers for those who need someone. Of the alphabetical list below, I've only used Marlene's, Summer Truswell and West Coast Finishing. I can highly recommend all three.
Cheryl's Needlework Finishing (near St. Louis, MO)
http://www.cherylsfinishing.com
Marlene's (San Francisco, CA)
http://www.marlenecustompillows.com
Quick Stitcher Designs (near Santa Clarita, CA)
http://chstitchguides.blogspot.com/2010/02/introducing-sharon-quick-of.html
Summer Louise Truswell (near Seattle, WA)
http://www.summerlouise.com
Vikki's Stuff (Austin, TX)
http://www.vikkisstuff.com
West Coast Finishing (Oregon)
http://www.westcoastneedlepointfinishing.com
Un Chiffon Bon Bon (highly recommended by Canvases Be Gone in Arizona)
https://www.facebook.com/Unchiffonfonfon
or email mcrobbins@cox.net
For those who don't need a finisher but love the eye candy, here are some photos of wonderful finishing from Nimble Needle's customers followed by more wonderful finishing from The Needlepointer's talented stitchers.

I should mention that most needlepoint shops have local finishers they use. You will need to take your completed pieces to the shop and they will take it from there. Before you send things off for finishing, make sure you and the finisher are completely clear on a few things--exactly what you want and don't want, the cost, and approximately when your piece will be ready. If your shop is the intermediary, a written description and photos for the finisher might be useful to turn over with your piece.
Got any contact information for finishers? Please email me at chilly hollowat hot maildotcom or post a comment below. I'm sure I missed folks. The list above was done off the top of my head but I can always update it.

I just stumbled across mention of a finisher I hadn't heard about--Vikki of Vikki's Stuff of Austin, TX. Her website is full of lovely things, so please take a little time to browse. After all, finishers put the icing on our cakes!
