Stitchery Square Rocks


Once Again .....my finishers at Stitchery Square in Camden , Maine

(see their link on this page) preformed their special magic and turned the 10st Gingerbread house and the two little Raggedy Ann and Andy cookies worked on 18st, into a great pillow...

no ordinary pillow...the pieces are appliqued on a sleeve that fits over a stuffed pillow and tied on at the corners....so a person( not me mind you) can change the look of the piece by changing the inner pillow...so how cool is that...I found a picture of this kind of pillow and sent it along with the pieces and Michele and her girls just ran with it...they do such a beautiful job and have a real feel for color and how to enhance a piece of needlepoint...not smother it...afterall...the finishing just adds to the needlepoint, shouldn't be your main focus...and this finisher is always right in tune with my vision....they are easy to work with and have become family...they are Squiggers!!!!
This pillow will travel to El Paso soon and will make it's appearance at the St. Louis show...
FYI...you would have to have a pretty cute country house to have this pillow....just looking at it , makes me worry that I am becoming almost sweet !...something to ponder...lol
