A Finish and a Fob

Flea Market Souvenir/Blackbird Designs

This was a quick stitch but joining the three pieces of fabric once they were stitched was much like putting a puzzle together. For me the appeal of this piece was the challenge of that very puzzle until I saw the fabrics for this piece in Utah at the Shepherd's Bush retreat last fall. They were all wrapped up with ribbon, which made it just too easy to start this beautiful piece. I can't wait to get this one framed and hanging in my entryway which is just screaming for a piece like this. (Sorry about the wrinkles, I need to iron it yet).

This darling ESSY project I stitched a while back was made into a fob over the weekend. I stitched two of them side by side but so close together I couldn't put one in the tin pin that came with the project so this is a double sided fob. I'll finish up the one I started on Sunday to put in the tin pin.
