They've all been received

So now I can show you what was in the PIF packages :)

I know, how un-original...floss tags. Are you tired of them?

Quaker time by
Gencat
fabric: 32ct lambswool linen
fiber: DMC 115

And a close up of the scissors with their tags.
I love this grosgrain ribbon.
The letters remind me of old fashioned typeface.
I sewed vintage metal buttons from my stash to hold the ends together.
(The pictures should be clickable for a closer view.)

Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods :)
The weekend is so close, I can almost taste it!

  2. And I love mine, very much! The stitching couldn't have been more perfect! It's the first handmade floss tag I've ever owned. The tag on the scissors was a nice, nice touch. Thank you again Staci! :)

  11. Your finishing is so perfect. I think it's so hard to do a shape that isn't square. You've really mastered it. And the scissors fobs are a really clever idea.

  32. Hi Staci,

    I've been enjoying my floss tag
    so much since it arrived last
    week. My favourite colour is
    red, and this finish is wonderful.
    So much thought and imagination
    went into this project, and I
    really appreciate your thoughtful-
    ness.

    I absolutely love that pear finish
    that you did for Vonna too! Trust
    you to come up with such a neat
    ornament for the exchange. Is the
    pear stitched onto the backing
    material (felt?).

    You mentioned improving your sewing
    skills. Are you planning to take
    a class or something?? When you
    sew your finished pieces do you
    hand sew or use a machine...or
    perhaps both???

    Thank you again for the wonderful
    gift. I'm beaming with delight
    here....really....you can read by
    the glow! :)

    Cheers!

  33. Wow, as you can see, everyone is impressed with our PIF's. Cute idea and done so perfect. I am jealous...I did stitch this pattern in black to make one but not sure I can do the finishing like you...that is the difficult part for me. ha!!! Very generous of you and your time to share. pj

  34. As always, I sit in amazement at the beautiful work you've done. You are just so clever. Where on earth did you find that awesome ribbon? It is definitely cool beans!

    Talk to you soon!

    Hugs,
    Carolyn :)
