Finishing is so important so we take this very seriously at Quail Run Needlework. Each ornament is reviewed carefully , then ample time is spent selecting just the right fabrics and embellishments. If we don’t have just the right materials, that means a shopping trip to our local fabric/hobby shops for just the right materials. We like to add just the right little touch to your stitched piece. We are careful to review all your special requests and fit them into the finished designs. Here are some great examples .
This lovely cabin ornament needed just the right colors and embellishment. The blue denim bow and little carved owl along with the twisted trim were just the right additions to the great stitching.
This customer prefers a ring instead of a twisted loop or hook . The little little paw print charm was added as that final special touch. She loves her Scotties!
Plaid is a must for this customer so we always incorporate this into her finishing . Here we used a plaid bow that works great .
We are often asked to add embroidery on the back – a date, name or intials. We have a deluxe
Viking Husqvarna embroidery machine in our workroom to accomodate all these special embroidery requests.
Making sure the fabric compliments the design is so important. Here we used a pattern similar to the scattered sequins on the front and placed a bright red star at an angle for that added little touch .
We want the ornaments to look as good from the back as the front.
Easel back stand ups are a popular request. We have several ways of doing these , depending on the size of the design. These are great as they fold flat for easy storage once the holiday season is over.
Each holiday season, I stitch one large piece to add to my store’s models. This wreath was this season’s project. It is proudly displayed above our class display table. You must come see if for yourself!
We know how hard you work on your canvases and the costs involved in each project.
Finishing can enhance a stitched canvas but can also ruin the look.
We want to make sure our finishing is just right for you!
The next blog will highlight our pillow finishing so watch for this .
