Hi beautiful friends! It's been some very warm weather here in Northern California. Our temps have been in the 90's. I have two finishes to share with you today. Both projects are from Debbie's Challenge that I started in the beginning of January - of my 15 new starts. I now have completed 7 of 15 projects. YES!!!
Do you remember this? This houses the panels I stitched. I just love pretty tins and have a small collection. This is my only pink one!
"My First Sewing Box & Scissor Fob" by The Stitching Parlor
30ct Woodlawn Linen
Threads: DMC and Classic Colorworks
Here is the inside of the tin.
I added tiny buttons in the top corners of the felt that holds needles. I have to tell you that I had the linen and used a piece for another ornament "Running Bunnies" by Just Nan back when and didn't think I would have enough linen left for both panels for this project. But I did. Very tight squeeze while stitching -LOL! It worked! Ooops I noticed that I forgot to stitch the scissor fob! I've added it on my list of to do's.
"Needlewoman - busy as a Bee" by The Primitive Hare
30ct Old Salem Linen
DMC Threads
This is a fold over pouch or pocket. I made some changes. I added firm Pellon (#809) to one of the fabrics so the pouch would hold up strong and not be flimsy. This was gifted to me from our friend Shirlee. I love how it turned out. I didn't add a closure on the bottom of the flap because I think the depth of the inside pocket is very deep and the outside over flap in nice and long. Hope this makes sense. But it works beautifully.
The fabric colors look rich in person. Pretty bee fabric. Thank you
Shirlee! I enjoyed making this.
I am now stitching on "Strawberry Fields Forever" by BBD. This is another one of my new starts from Debbie's Challenge from of the beginning new year. Thank you for your visit.
With my love and appreciation - Annette

Oh Annette, what a wonderful way to finish the perfect, pink tin.

Have fun with Strawberry Fields.

well done with your finishes
specially love the busy as a bee.
Wonderful job on the finishes. I love the look of "Strawberry Fields". It will be fun watching you make progress.
Everything is beautiful!! I have that tin (only mine is green) and I have that pattern. I hesitate to tell you how long I've had them - and it remains unstitched...LOL However, I'm going to work on more things this year (as soon as the new glasses arrive) and that project is on my list for 2015. I just love everything you do!
Blessings - Julie
Beautiful stitching as always Annette. Aren't you doing well with the challenge?
Love your box. I use mine all the time. I like the pink! Stasi gifted me with her used pattern like the one Shirlee gifted you. I really need to stitch that up soon. You've inspired me. Hugs!
Congrats on the lovely finishes, and great going on Strawberry Fields.
Beautiful finishes, both the box and the needle case. Great progress on your sampler too.
Beautiful work, Annette!
Great new start on Strawberry Fields, love the border on it. I am amazed you have finished 7 of your CJC starts already. I still have unfinished ones from the 2013 challenge.
What a wonderful work. This box is just perfect!
Oh, your tin is so lovely, Annette--your finishes are always so creative and well executed! And the Strawberry Fields piece looks like such fun to stitch.
Enjoy that hot weather or yours :)
Pretty stitching and awesome finishing!
oh my, I had seen these on IG but not so up close, great great job!!
I can't wait to see how your Strawberry Fields turns out, I have to stitch mine in '16!
Wow, Annette, two more finishes of your challenge pieces. And what is even better is the fact that they are finish-finished! Most beautifu, your tin. And a real dream your little pouch. These fabrics you used are as if they were made for the design.
Now there are only 8 challenge pieces left. And you have plenty of time to finish them by the end of the year.
The Strawberry Fields are progressing well, too.
Your box is beautiful!
