Finished Project for August

Just a few day's late ... I've been a bit distracted, but here is my finished project for August.  It's a funny little house pincushion, designed by Sue Spargo, but with a lot of tweaking by me.  I was going for a bit of a Dutch Colonial look as in the picture below ...


... but something happened along the way and I ended up with this!!


Not one of those projects that at the end gives you a moment's smugness at one's personal achievement, oh deary no!  This was more like "grrr, wonky stitches, mumble, mumble, seams don't match, mumble, mumble, I could have done that differently, better, etc. etc. ..."

But my list of unfinished projects is one project lighter, so onwards and upwards.

Wishing all the wonky stitches away.

  3. Hey Trudy, I think you are being a little harsh about your sweet pincushion. The colours are wonderfully vibrant and I never noticed any wonky stitching, or seams not matching till you pointed it out.....
    It really is very sweet,

  6. It's really awesome, I know it's easy sometimes just to see the faults in things, but try to enjoy its bright cheeriness and character.
