FFO Post for March

[So sorry, rather late post but I have been away for the weekend - more on that next post] ....

Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher

This is a great SAL, designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed or in my case, in a drawer! The idea is to link up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month)..... and I actually managed to Fully Finish a whopping nine pieces this month - I am pretty chuffed with myself.  This SAL is a huge motivator for me!

#1.  

First up is an older stitchy finish, which I finished stitching in November 2016 but according to the post, took three and a half years to stitch!  (Obviously I am very easily distracted - lol!).

#2

Proverbi 4 by Paola Gattiblu

28ct Flax Linen

My selection of speciality floss

(The two blues are WDW Blue Jean and GAST Cornflower)

I actually finished this way back in January 2016!  This, too, only took four years to actually FFO it!

I embellished it with a blue bow and some buttons from my stash.

This has a companion piece, Proverbi 3, which I FFOed last month.

#3 
PS Santa 2015, finished as a small wall hanging with two pegs:
                                             
                                              "C"hristmas "D"ay

#4. "Be Joyful" by Tempting Tangles Designs, which I did finish stitching this year.

#5

I also FFOed this sweet design "With you I am home" which I have absolutely no recollection (and I can't find anything on my blog) of when I stitched it. I added the little heart buttons from my button collection and the hot pink check fabric is also from my stash.

I am displaying it on this cute chalkboard which I bought from TK Maxx for only $6 (AUD).

#6 is another Prairie Schooler design - isn't he a cute snowman?

#7 is Winter Wonderland by CCN, which I finished stitching earlier this year - I finished it as a large wall/balustrade hanging. I found this perfect pale blue and snowflake fabric in my stash for the border.

... and this lovely silver, gold and white fabric for the backing.

... and #8 is that I fully finished "Christmas Bullfinch", another design that I finished stitching earlier this year. Again, I found the perfect fabric in my stash!

                                             

                

... and finally, #9 is "Mon Amour" stitched it on a scrap of unknown green linen which I had in my stash and chose my own pinks and greens and added white beads instead of white crosses. The fabric in the border is what I used to back it with, too.

Please go see what everyone else Fully Finished this month.
