Rollie Shopper back from the finisher







What a great job the finisher did...the Burberry plaid is matched exactly on the back seam....it really pays to have a professional finish your needlepoint....she is seamless...I really don't know how they do it...anyway here she is in all her glory on her solid birch base......she is perfectly straight...must be the table..lol...
will mess with leveling her...but these snaps are good enough to show her off...and yes...I worked her myself.......at one time I had lovely red nails...but too much painting and hand work..now they look like I dig gravel..lol...and no polish..way too hard to get the paint off..acrylic really bonds on acrylic polish...
FYI...my finisher....Stitchery Square, Camden Maine..owner Michelle
1-207-236-9773....
just tell her Squiggee says hey !
ps...they are very reasonable and excellent and fast.....

She is wonderful! what a great piece! I used to have long nails too, but they get in the way, so I keep them just at the end of the fingers and I can stitch away with flying needles! LOL

Fabulous. You are a quick study with the stitching! That Chanel bag is especially fine.

I failed to mention that if this shopper had black hair, it would be a combo of my two daughters. Jennifer smothers herself in Burberry, and Jean Marie decks herself out (and perfumes) with Chanel. The ring would be an emerald. (my mother's) I just smother and deck myself with paint spattered t-shirts.

Great stitching and a great finish! Michelle McCreary, who does the roll-ups for Stitchery Square, is a complete genius with back seams, isn't she?

Waving in my paint-endowed sweatshirt and jeans from the Cape!
