I am honored to help so many of you with your stitching finishes. My small business has grown considerably and I humbly thank all of you who trust me with your precious work.
C.J. lovingly stitched Six Little Cardinals and some pretty red fabric with golden stars was added:
V.DiN. beautifully rendered this special pillow, hung with wide silk ribbon and surrounded by twisted chenille trim, as a lovely gift:
A.G stitched this lovely Santa with pastel reds and greens for a soft side to the traditional colors:
The TinSmiths Wife stitched this peaceful Dove on a gorgeous unusual red fabric, adding the lovely turquoise beads and knots around the neck and requested a cupboard hanger. I added some more knots to the trim:
Then using the same beautiful red fabric The Tinsmiths Wife stitched a Star Was Born cupboard hanger:
And last but not least the colors were changed from light to dark and this beautiful Pomegranate Sewing Tray from Stacy Nash Primitives was born:
I hope to soon show a few more finishes before the Christmas week is upon us. Thank you again for your faith in me and allowing me to be creative with your pieces!
Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas season! Amities, Averyclaire

The love and care you take in picking out the perfect fabrics and embellishments is obvious, Karen–your customers must be so pleased 🙂 It is always such a thrill when the stitching, fabric, ribbons, buttons, and trims come together for that perfect finished look, isn’t it?
Wishing you a relaxing weekend as you count down to Christmas!

Hi Carol…thank you for the kind words. Yes, I spend about a day just auditioning fabrics, trims, etc. for the items until I am satisfied that it is special. My clients have been very happy so far. Mostly they just let me decide on how to finish it.
