Stars N Stripes for Labor Day!!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!! Sharing this stitch of my Stars N Stripes canvas by Linda E, inside a custom box made by Deux Deux Bijoux! 

 

Finished and Fabulous!!

 Two great finishes, Mistletoe Kitty by Diane G. and Cardinals Star by Sarita B!  

Three Cute Finishes!

Some cute stuff to share today!  First up is my "Joy Cardinal" finished up with a cute berry sprig!  Thanks to Labors of Love Needlepoint Shop for the photo.

TJ always does a great job finishing my Christmas Star series, these were stitched by my friend Courtney M!

This is a custom name tag I painted for my friend Pat, stitched by her for our friend Vicky D.  Pat sent it to TJ for the basic finish, then she added the great beaded strap!

Spooky Star Club is Wrapping Up!

How time does fly!  Seems so soon to be saying goodbye to another club, but the 5th star in the Spooky Star club is shipping out this month! This ornament features a cute but scary witch house, based on the fairy tale about Baba Yaga's house that stood on chicken legs!  If you've never read this one you are in for a treat as it is both funny and scary!

Beautiful Finish of My Holiday Star!

This one is going into my Top 10 favorite stitches and finishes ever!  Jeannine B. stitched my Holiday Star with a guide by Ruth Schmuff, then sent it to Chaparral Needlepoint for Carolyn Baird to work her magic with ribbons to trim this gorgeous pillow.  Such fabulous work from all involved!

Fabulous Fall Finishing!

So many great finishes to show off today, including a County Fair winner!  It is that time of year, Fall and Fair season too, such fun!

First up is my friend Emily's beautiful finish of my Bejeweled Bargello ornament.  Beautiful stitching by Emily, then great finishing from the Chaparral here in Houston.

Gayle at Fancy Stitches completed my Gift Elf, this little gal is the spitting image of her granddaughter Peyton!  Great job on this, I love the background!

Lisa C. entered three of her completed Stars from the Stitch a Falling Star club and won three ribbons at the Austin County Fair-- Grand, Reserve and High Point!  Congrats to you Lisa, they are great!

It's been a while since I've seen a new finish from my Candy Corn Club, this one was shared by Louise's Needlework and it is gorgeous!

Last but not least, Debbie L. stitched my Cowboy Owl and sent it to TJ's for the truly fab finishing, love the styling on that pillow!

That's it for this week, keep those great pictures coming in, I love to show off your work!!

Stitch a Falling Star - Santa Birds is Shipping!

The Santa Birds Star is shipping out this month in the Stitch a Falling Star club!  I love how Cynthia stitched this one, especially the tree!

Here's a recap of the other 4 Stars in the series-- it sure has been fun!!

Stay tuned for more, the next club on the horizon is called "Merry & Bright"!

Kitty Kat is Coming to Town!!

The Kitty in the Stitch a Falling Star club shipped out this month and many of us have really been anticipating this one!! Can't wait to see the finishes start rolling in on this one.  Give Fancy Stitches a call at 817 641 4761 if you'd like to sign up for the club!

Fly Away Home!

Some cute finishes today, and a couple of them have been in the works for a long time!  Not these Cardinals, though, these were stitched by Linda C., one of the quick stitchers in this year's  Falling Star Club, and they are already finished and at home!

Love that dimensional star shape finish!

Next up are pieces from another club series, the last two Hoot Owls stitched by my friend Judy G.  These will join the other 4 already at home and will complete the set!  Congrats to Judy, they look great!!

These 3 Pumpkins and Candy Corns from my Crazy Patch club series are the first of 9 stitched by Rebecca S., and she still has 6 at the finisher to look forward to!  I can't wait to see them either, especially if they look as good as these!

Great work everyone and thanks for sharing!!

A Good Week For Finishes!

Some really great finishing photos today, it's been a prolific week for EyeCandy!

This one is courtesy of Jermies Needlepoint, and it is my favorite, because it is so different!!  This is my Vintage Skull Halloween Pail, but stitched in orange, who would have thought? I love it, I may have to stitch it again like this one!  

Here's the original-- so different!  The orange color totally works on this though! 

Rachel G. just got my Hoot Owl Trio back from New Creation Picture Framing and it is amazing! 

Sherrin E.'s Caribbean Waves ornament is back from TJ's Finishing, love it!

 Love this finish, also by TJ's, of my Stars N' Stripes canvas:

Not the only one of my stars to be finished by TJ's lately, here's Susan B.'s Halloween Star:
