Fall Favor Finished!

My Fall Favor is complete!  The finishing worked out pretty well, for a non-finisher!  I even found a fat quarter of fabric in the "right" green with leaves on it!  And stash delivered beads & a star to hang from the bottom.  It was meant to be!

Fall Favor Progress

The stitching is finished on Fall Favor.  I think it is very pretty!  The background was a bit tedious, LOTS of compensating, but it looks good.

Now to see if I can "finish" this as a cone!  Wish me luck!  I hope to have a final report by the end of the week.

May Mountain Middle

May Mountain Middle is a cute little cross stitch design from Pine Mountain Designs.  It is a pre-finished pillow, so once the stitching is done, you just slip in a pillow form & you're done!  This one is for my Mom's birthday, which is in May. 
The fabric around the Aida cloth is a soft flannel print & it makes a cozy little piece.

I finished this piece Sunday at our local retreat here in Las Vegas.  We have 2 retreats every year, spring & fall, and it is just one day.  It is inexpensive & we get lunch & lots of goodies.  It is a fun time, stitching and socializing.
