Home Sweet Home

This adorable little design called Home Sweet Home was a SWEET stitch :) I finished it into a pin pillow. I changed all the colors called for. I used a green houndstooth fabric for finishing...added some lace and used some of the houndstooth to add a "faux" bow to the lace. It will be going to live with one of my regular visitors :) The only issue I am having picking a name from my regulars is deciding WHO will like what....



Designer: Stone and Thread
Fabric: 32ct. Hand dyed by BeckySC
Fibers: DMC
Start Date: 1-18-2012

Thank you dear friends and readers for visiting with me. Thank you for your sweet comments and your sweet emails. I do so love hearing from you all :) Please do stop by again :)
hugs and love from SC :)

Very cozy project, beautifully stitched. And I love the background - fabric?

ladyjane22 said...

As usual another beautiful finish. Your needles must be smokin' from the fast stitching. Not only do I love seeing your finishes, but how you present them to all of us in your pictures.

Beth Pearce said...

That is absolutely darling!

Mindi said...

Very cute little pin pillow, and I love how you used the fabric to make the faux bow.

The piece you stitched for Carolyn's box tops is lovely, and your colors changes are so soft and mellow, I like them better then the charted colors.

Carol said...

Beautiful, love how you finish your creations.

Love the saltbox house. Makes me think of Maine and the old New England houses. The green houndstooth looks like a grassy field. Nice finish!!

Shpinelka said...

Becky, you don't need to worry about who will like which project. They are all so lovely I think whomever you send each project to will be estatic. You have the best lace and fabric collection. Marty

Very Nice - the fabric and little bow are perfect. I always struggle with the backing fabric.

But I must say how fabulous your photo is. The staging and all the accessories are so perfect. I wish I could take such fantastic shots.

Thanks for sharing this.

I have a question for ya - do you back your stitching with anything when you make your little pillows/pin pillows?
