First Finish Finish of 2012

Looks like I just learned a new trick. 

I took these photos on a piece of blue foam core board and wow! That looks fantastic. 

I spent the better part of yesterday finishing my Viola Scissor Case designed by Betsy Morgan of Willing Hands. 

Before you get too excited, Betsy's kits are still only available through taking a class with her. And this particular one is retired, also. 

Color me proud! 

I've got enough leftover silk that I've been contemplating the creation of a companion piece. And I may even have more of this fabric in my own stash. And I've got this fabulous button that Betsy found after the piece was designed and included in the kit. 

Could be fun!

 

Current Projects

This is my progress on Ruth Dilts' Mystic. Of course I changed the colors. And changed them again. I was using black, but there was too much contrast on the white canvas. So instead I'm using Folkstone, an overdyed gray silk from Thread Gatherers. Interesting.









This is a Betsy Morgan class that I took last year. I thought I'd finish this one before moving on to the All Year Square pin cube.

Over one on 32ct linen. I love it.
