Needle and thread from Little House Needlework finish!



Here's my latest finish! It's Needle and thread from Little House Needleworks. I stitched it using the Crescent Colors that came with chart and the fabric is 32 ct Putty. The frustration level was high here last night, I ended up finishing this twice since I didn't like how it looked after the first time. So out came the scissors and I pulled the stitched part closer to the pillow and it looks so much better.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments!

It's wonderful! Bummer that you had to do the finishing twice, but you're smart to do it. It's awful to look at something and not be happy with how it came out. Beautiful finish! Congrats!

Oh my gosh, awesome finish, Kajsa! I love it - it looks so complicated to me - way beyond my finishing skills! Great job!!!

Great job stitching and finishing. It can be frustrating when sewing does not come out the way we want. You should be happy with it this time. It is wonderful.

Hi Kajsa
Just popped over from Natalie's blog to take a look - lovely, lovely stitching and your new finish is gorgeous, fabric and threads match beautifully.
Love your Peacock Anniversary Sampler, I bet your MIL was really chuffed.

I just love this design by LHN and you did a wonderful job finishing it off (even though you did it twice). I'm finishing challenged so it would probably take me three times at least!

I love this chart, and you did a wonderful job on it. The pillow is lovely, and the fabric you chose is perfect. Beautiful!

Oh, it is so sweet, Kajsa--the second time was a charm apparently 'cause it looks just perfect :)

Lynn said...

Great finish Kajsa! I can't believe that you did it twice. I'm lucky if I get it done once!
Your previous finish on the anniversary sample is also very pretty. I love the colour of floss that you used.

As playing roulette will show you (because inherently it doesn't allow the possibility of a Selection System to operate, since any given number or colour can come up at any time), very few Staking Plans on their own will consistently allow you to increase the amount you started with (meaning that you are simply in the hands of Lady Luck on the night).

You have to think of those days when there will be steaming games and you can't replenish your bankroll. That would be worse than 9/11. Since there is no rule that says that you've got to bet on all games, there is no hurry. Despite a long list of football betting tips, you have to manage your money. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]football betting[/url] Myth #4: Bettors have the edge early in the season because oddsmakers and bookmakers need more time to assess the teams.
Reality: More hours are spent analyzing the opening week of the NFL season than any other is. A detailed, in-depth assessment of NFL teams begins more than a month before the opening kickoff. While it's true that teams often do not tip their hand during the preseason or against weak, non-divisional foes, players are in no better position to uncover this deception than are bookmakers. Historically, the first six weeks of the season have been very kind to bookmakers. That's probably not just luck.

Like every popular sport, football comes with its own gambling opportunities. It’s a way for fans to show their support, while adding to the already big thrill of the game.
