Souvenir of Paris Finished!

I finished my first Blackbird Designs stocking today!! It wasn't too hard. Just don't look too closely because it's definitely not perfect!!

BBD Souvenir of Paris

This is the backing fabric I used. I thought it was perfect for it. I decided to use just a simple ribbon for a hanger.

Blackbird Designs "Souvenir of Paris" from the Joyeux Noel book
Fabric: 30 ct. St. Valentine's Blend by R&R
Threads: GAST and WDW (2 over 2)
Started: 1/28/11 - Finished: 2/2/11

Now, I plan to get back to Shores or Paradise Lost, whichever one calls to me the loudest. I would LOVE to get both of them finished by the end of this month. We'll see if I can actually do it! :)

    What a gorgeous finish, I can't see any imperfections there! I am getting more and more tempted to stitch one of these stockings just to see if I could do the finishing now lol.
