Last week when I did the ORT report I noticed I'd not shown my clover pincushion finish. So I went looking for it over the weekend and there it was in need of finishing. I also did some craft sewing but I'll show you that another day.
Designer: Lynn B of Happiness is Cross Stitching blog
Fabric: 28 ct. mint green
Floss: DMC 367 & Ecru
Started: 3/17/13
Finished: 3/25/13
Completed: 4/14/13
I ended up changing the clover center colors about three different times before I struck on the Ecru as my final choice. The mint green just seemed to swallow up the greens I kept trying.
I decided to put "Good Luck" instead of "St. Patrick's Day" on the back of it. I like to at least put my initials and a date on things. I'm thinking I should have stitched this over one but it's too late now. It's done and I'm moving on!
I also liked the way Lynn did the beaded edge on hers so I decided to do the same. I think it would look cute done with tiny pearls too but I didn't have any. I like the green.
So there you have it folks! A finish I forgot about. I started it to be festive on St. Patty's Day. I guess it's better late than never on the completion part. LOL!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope everyone has a good week!
Until Next Time,
