Kia Ora friends, as planned there was some stitching finished here last night for Friday Night Sew-In. Yay! My Danybrod pincushion is made up...................... I'm pretty happy with the final result.
Floral Pin Cushion by Danybrod
Stitched on 32ct linen with DMC threads
The fabric I used for the back of the pincushion
I also finished up this little Christmas ornament, stitched back in February this year.
Winter's Eve - Country Cottage Needleworks
from JCS 2006 Christmas Ornament Issue
Stitched on Driftwood Belfast 32ct Linen with DMC, WDW and CC threads
The finishing up of these didn't take long, so I spent the rest of the evening working on my SSCS stitching, but I can't show any pics of that top secret project at the minute!!
Thanks to Heidi for once again hosting Friday Night Sew-In, I love it, and look forward to it each month, why not head over to Heidi's blog and join in next time.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend however you're spending it.......thanks for stopping by........Nicky

Hello Nicky,
You certainly had a productive evening. Isn't it good to use these nights to finish things off. Hope you have a great weekend out in the garden.
Happy days.

Gorgeous pincushion! I love the backing fabric. What a coincidence on the ornament you posted as I posted a photo of my WIP of the same ornament tonight. I really like how you finished it!
Great finishing - the pincushion is beautiful !

Your pincushion is gorgeous Nicky. Love your ornament too.
Wonderful finish!
Your pin cushion is gorgeous... I don't know that I could use it though! It's too cute! Love the Christmas decoration! I've been umming and ahhing over whether I'd get that magazine... new edition... I think I might just have to go order it NOW! You do beautiful cross stitch work!
Both your projects are gorgeous.
love the cross stitch......beautiful work........
Looks great, both projects!
Great finishes! They both look adorable.
Gorgeous cross stitching Nicky...you inspire me to pull out some of my projects (of which there are far too many!) Good to read that you are still making progress on a Gardeners Journal...I sewed up a few pieces of mine today, and was excited to see how big it's growing! Hope the clean-up from the storms is going well...so very sad to read about your sheep :(
Very productive evening! Love the pin cushion and the ornament finish.
What sweet finishes!! Sounds like a very productive evening!
Nicky - they're so cute. I just love the backing you put on the Danybrod piece. It fits it perfectly!
Gorgeous as always... just love your work. Lisa
You have done great job with your stitching.Both are so beautiful and I like especially colours on your pincushion and packing fabric is also lovely.
