The pieces that I asked her to work on we're bigger than ornament size. I don't sew so she had offered to make them into pillows and then I could stuff and trim them. Myra went way beyond that...
Here is that Bent Creek kit I stitched in March. She put it on this wire hanger and backed it with lovely sunflower fabric.
Here is a Bent Creek snowman. She edged it with ricrac and even supplied me a sharp needle so that I can sew it closed after I stuff it. Thanks Myra! This will be that much easier for me!
Then she mounted this on a box.
How fabulous is this! She even painted the hardware since the black looked better with it. Is it perfect or what!
Thanks dear friend for putting so much into these for me.
This morning was a busy one. Zumba, grocery shopping and lunch with Myra. By the time I got home I was beat. Binx, Beau and I took a little catnap.
I did make progress on my ornament.
Pretty cute. Now I have to stitch the back and put it together. I am hoping to finish it in the next couple of days. Then I can stash dive to look for my June pick, it is Stitcher's Choice. Hopefully I will have no trouble finding something.
Well that's it for today. I hope that everyone is having a great weekend!
Sweet Dreams!

Great finishing from Myra and your little ornament is darling.
Nice stitching and finish-finishing. Since putting things together isn't my favorite activity, I'd be keeping Myra very busy.
