Finishes ~ ~ ~

Welcome friends. Thank you for stopping by.
Just a quick post to show you a few things I've finally finished ~ and yes, Kathy (Woolfind), they are labeled ;-)
Here's a small hooked mat that's about 11 3/4 x 12 1/4. It's a design by Lori Brechlin. I don't really like how I hooked the outermost row, but it's too late to change it ;( I don't remember if the technique has a name, but I rolled strips of wool for the flower.

A couple of small punch needle pieces that did not get done for Easter.

And finally, a small redwork sampler, a modified Blackbird Design freebie. Johana Kerhin was my maternal grandmother. I initially spelled her name the American way, Johanna, only to discover it spelled with only one "n" when I went to the cemetery and found her gravestone. I didn't have a frame that would work and did not want to make a pillow. I thought I would simply turn back the raw edges and blind stitch down. I measured entirely wrong and did not leave myself enough fabric, so I simply backed it with a piece of felted wool. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but I'll eventually find a spot for it.

Thank you again for dropping by. I hope the weather in your neck of the woods is half as beautiful as the weather is currently on Ohio's north coast.

Pug hugs :)
Lauren
