Dear friends and fellow bloggers,
Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.
The finishing pile is minus 1 stitched finish. Over the weekend I set about finishing my Cross Stitch Nation by Heartstring Samplery in to a drum .... my very first. It did take me 4 hours but I did enjoy it. It is quite a sizable piece and when you think it has to be stuffed, well that's where the time goes. I re-watched and followed Vonna Pfeiffer's Drum Tutorial on Youtube. I finished the top and bottom with Lady Dot Creates Velveteen in Heirloom and the Chenille is Mossy. I do keep stroking the top so it might end up a bit bald.

Until next time ....
Such a gorgeous drum! Finishing always takes way longer than I think it should! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love it. You did a great job. I would be just like you.....having to ‘pet’ it. Have a great week.

It's a lovely finish. A drum finish is something I would like to try but the idea of stuffing it means it's a project that I've put on the back burner, for now.
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect Andrea. A great finish.
ReplyDeleteONe day I will make a pincushion drum too.
Have a nice day Manuela
Oh, it looks just wonderful, Andrea! Well done! Where would we be without Vonna's wonderful tutorials :)
ReplyDeleteI love your drum!! I have never made one but hope to some day. Vonna's tutorials are the best!!

ReplyDeleteHello Andrea! I thought for sure I commented on this post last week but it is not here so I will try again. I absolutely love your drum. Such a beautiful job you did. I have been scared to try to make one but maybe now I'll give one a try too. Love the design too. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
