It’s been a while since I posted some finishing photos except for what was done for the Boutis Class. So I am trying to catch up on showing some of the lovely things my clients have done!
Pat quickly finished this very pretty needleroll. It came as a kit and I did the finishing for her. What a lovely piece!
Nancy was very busy stitching up a couple of gifts for a good friend. I love the nautical theme.
I kept the nautical theme going with the “whale-like” stitching on the accent piece. Click on photo to zoom in a bit.
And I added some of that accent color to the back as well!
And here is Nancy’s second gift item…sailboats…made to match the first one!
For this one I added “wave-like” stitching on the accent piece and some accent color on the back as well.
Vivian requested a simple Christmas pillow with ten rusty bells. I love the backing she chose to go with it. Simple and elegant.
A new project roll is born with a hidden place to keep your thread and scissors, etc.
And a couple more project bags were finished with a French theme. Eiffel Tower on one with an Eiffel Tower zipper pull and a Boutis needlework piece mounted in the center of the second one, which also has an Eiffel Tower zipper pull.
Thank you again to all my clients who keep my “in-box” full of beautifully stitched pieces. More to come as soon as I have the photos ready and downloaded!
Amities, Averyclaire

Hi Karen
I am never tired to look at the beautiful pieces of art you so precisely ‘finish’. What a nice job you are achieving. And BTW as I can see you in the right column, you look really cute yourself.

Your finishing is amazing! Like the prior commenter, I never tire of it either! Does the project roll have closed ends? How does that work? I’ve only seen them with yo-yos on the end. I love your finished ends.

Thanks Jackie…the inside is a mailing tube that opens at both ends! Fun to make.

Really love seeing your finishes, Karen! Those speciality sttiches add such a nice touch to them, too. I need to teach myself some of those one of these days. I am always inspired when I “visit” you–thanks so much 🙂
