Today is Reveal Day for the Stitch and Stash Monthly Challenge. This month we chose Lizzie*Kate's Hello Spring. The album can be found here. I chose to finish mine as a long pincushion, mostly because I wanted an excuse to use some of this wonderful funky lime pompom trimming. Yes, this is "The Trimming that Taste Forgot", I love it, there is a very real danger that I will stitch it to anything that sits still for long enough...
And why "regal" you are wondering as you look at my decidedly un-regal pincushion, well we just found out that Naomi will be Carnival Queen for 2010/11. She is as excited as a dog with two tails! Expect LOTS of pictures (be afraid, be very afraid...)
This is so pretty, and I love your lime green pom pom trim! How exciting for Naomi to be Carnival Queen!
ReplyDeleteLove how you finished the LK design.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Naomi on being named Queen of Carnival!
I like your pin cushion idea. Pom poms on a tape are so very retro. I can actually remember when almost everyone had pom pom trim on kitchen and bathroom curtains and even some articles of clothing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Naomi; I am certain she will enjoy being the Queen of Carnival.
Christine I will say again how much I like this Pillow, the fabric looks as if it has been made to go with your stitching and the pom poms just finish it off so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteGreat news for Naomi , another dress to make? Hows the prom dress or shouldnt I ask lol.
Hugs

Just wondered over from Ranae's blog and I love this pillow! I think the pompom fringe is great...very creative.
