The Monthly Challenge, restitched, on pre-stained fabric, without the colour runs.
The chart is from Pineberry Lane and can be found here
Finished in a deliberately primitive style (I can do blanket stitch neater than that, honest), with tea stained lace, a twine bow and a rusty bell
Mind you, the final placement of one of the tea stains is a bit dubious
Rudolf!
I nearly trod in that! I ought to rub your stupid red nose in it!

LOL at poor Rudolph :D
ha ha! Looks great.
LOL! Funny and cute. Really cute - the finish is perfect!
That is super cute - I think your finishing is fantastic for this piece.
I literally laughed out loud when I read your Rudolph comment. Well done!
He even has his hands on his hips? Christine, I love how you have finished it .Did he have proof it was Rudolf ,it could have been anyone of the other 6.
Lol
hUGS
It's so much safer to stitch on pre.stained fabric. Your finishing is just gorgeous. I was doing this sewing on years ago and had forgotten about this way of finishing. I have to remember it when my finishing mojo comes back.
Me laughing at your comment actually made my kids look up from their tablets! It looks really lovely aged like that.
Aww he is so cute :)
a delightful finish!
Love it and well done on having another go. Love your little joke about the tea bag stain. :)
Beautiful work Christine :-)
still very pretty. no one but you will notice.
The finished pillow is lovely and your comment made me giggle. Well done!
You stitched again so quickly! It's looking very nice :) I guess even the earlier one was good, why can't tea spill on thread area and cause color bleed, why should it only stain the fabric area? I would have hung on to whatever happened with that excuse for stitching only once;)
You are a perfectionist!! No one will notice the dubious placement of stain until you mention.
Lovely finish..naughty Rudolph:)
Hahahaha that really made me laugh!
A lovely finish, Christine.
Ha ha!! I just love this, Christine--that naughty Rudolf!! But, seriously, your finish is just so sweet and perfect for this prim piece :)
LOL, version two does look much better, finished to delightfully too.
Roll on next month!
Lovely finish!
Poopy Santa!
Nice prim finish.
Well better Rudolph than Santa himself LOL. Congrats on your re-finish.
Gorgeous finish :o)
pretty stitching, I like the green fabric.
