Finished Betsy Morgan's "Gathering for Winter" Etui

Jul 06


With my resolve to finish my projects this year, I have finished the first of my needlework pieces for 2014.  I have not finished assembling the smalls but here are some pics of the Etui.

May 2014 Update

May 13

I have been working on finishing projects.  Found a couple of Shepherd's Bush samplers I need to finish.  They are year 2000 samplers with only a couple of rows to do to be finished.


I will post pictures as I get things done.

In the meantime, I am off to Huntington Beach for an Elizabethan Sweet Bag class with Melinda Sherbring.

Gathering for Winter Etui

Feb 09

I have been stitching diligently on this piece to get it done.  Here is a picture of the progress I am making.





I have the bottom of the etui to finish, the scissor fob to stitch, and finally the interfacing to put on and finish stitching the top and upper band of the etui.


As I finish the pieces, I will post an image.  I know the pieces are wrinkled but I haven't ironed them yet.
