Finish and more stash

 

 I finished Star Spangled.  The fabric below is what I will use to back it.  I am going to make it into a small pillow/pinkeep.  Stitched on mystery blue linen with Ginnie Thompson flower thread in red and blue.  Fun stitch and I love the flower thread!  Thanks again, Robin!

I follow a blog, Brynwood Needleworks, and won this scissor fob that she made.  It is done in gold and green metal threads in a goldwork technique.  He was so hard to photograph!  But he is gorgeous and I call him Prince Charming! LOL!  Thanks to Donna at Brynwood Needleworks!

And yes, I bought more stash!  I also bought some finishing materials. 

Pumpkin Row by October House Needleworks

The Itch to Stitch, also by October House

God Bless America by Mill Hill

Happy B-day and Bee Your Best Self, both by Lila's Studio

The JCS 2024 Halloween Issue and a round finishing form

I had fun picking out finishing fabrics!  Both patriotic fabrics and the bee fabric on the right are all sparkly.

Found some cute ribbons, sew on gems, and buttons

Bees!  Buzzzzzzzzzzzz.... ;-)

Whew, I think that's it.  It's too hot to do much outside, so I hope to get some finishing done inside where it's cool!

See ya!~~
