I had a little finishing session this morning/afternoon and here are the results. First up, is the Blackbird Designs' piece from the SB retreat. We painted and waxed the box at the retreat but did no stitching. I've been working on the stitching since the beginning of December and after a bit of frogging, finished it up yesterday. The lining of the box and mounting the stitching was dead easy!
My other finished piece is the Shared Stitches piece, also from the retreat. Usually the Shared Stitches has designs by all the teachers but this one doesn't. So it's designed by SB and finishing is by Merry Cox. Quite easy to finish and I just love the way the ribbon has come out.

Great finishes, Alison. I love them both! You've really done well with the ribbon finish on the shared stitches piece. You must be getting the hang of it. :)
It's 2009 now and I'm staying up until I don't know when. Too many interesting blogs to look at! Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year Alison.
