I have had a finish during my blogging hiatus - what I call a finish-finish. I stitched this - Jenny Bean Pin Tuffet by Shakespeare's Peddler - some time ago. I don't think I ever showed it here on the blog. I decided to send it off to Faye of Carolina Stitcher fame for finishing. This was probably in April.
Jenny Bean's Pin Tuffet
Shakespeare's Peddler
Called for fabric and fiber
Set in the recommended base (purchased at Elegant Stitch in 2009/2010)
Faye is a wonderful stitcher and a beautiful finisher. Not only was she an amazing communicator (that is always so nice), she delivered when she said she was going to (about 3 weeks) and her price was fair. It's me who is lacking, I never let Faye know how happy I was! I love it Faye!
Like I mentioned to Faye, sometimes you just need someone else to do it for you. This was one of those times. If you're ever in that frame of mind, I can highly recommend Faye. When it comes back, just don't be so busy you let the box sit there for....ahem....way too long!
Now if I can just find that Blackbird Stocking that is tucked away someplace "safe"....!

What a darling little finish! Faye is amazing. I love the things she shows on her blog. Thanks for sharing with us.
What a great finish and a beautiful piece. When you say Faye is a finisher - what does that mean? Hugs!!
Your stitching and Fayes finishing ... a perfect combination. Beautiful.
Oh my gosh! That is gorgeous. You did a great job stitching and Faye finished it off beautifully!
I love it, Jackie! You did a lovely job of stitching it and Faye finished it perfectly.
Oh, what a pretty piece, Jackie! Between your stitching and Faye's finishing, I'd say you've achieved perfection!!
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend--hope it's a relaxing one :)
Simply beautiful! Great job!!
This wonderful how Faye finished your stitched piece. I love her finishing skills and always look at her blog posts when she shows new finishing projects. Enjoy your piece!
Really, really great piece! I've heard nothing but good things about Faye's finishing. She's a real pro.
Its so beautiful - congrats to you both on the great work.
Beautiful! Sorry I am so late in responding. Don't know how I could have missed this post. It was so nice of you to mention Faye and her finishing of your stitching. That doesn't always happen. The pin cushion is a lovely family heirloom.
It looks great, Jackie! And how nice to have a finish! Those are absolutely the best. We should all have a finisher at hand... or at least someone to encourage us to finish. It's difficult to feel motivated ALL the time, isn't it? Hope you're having a great summer.
It's gorgeous, congratulations to you both
Beautiful stitching and finishing. I stitched this one a few years ago and tried to do a pincushion but I didn't make mine puffy enough :) Seeing this makes me want to try again!
How perfectly beautifully finished! You must be so thrilled with Faye's finishing of your wonderful piece.
Love it!
Blessings!
WOW! Beautiful work ... both your stitching and Faye's finishing.
Hugs from Holland,
Heidi
