I woke up with a nasty cold today that really made me feel like doing nothing but sleep. Figuring that this would be a bad time to work on model stitching (ya think?), I decided to make my first tuffet. I’ve been dying to do this for a while, since I first saw Judith Tuttle’s (Twisted Oaks Designs) tuffet in her Stitching Treasures II chartpak.
So, I had the idea a night or two ago to finish my first tuffet out of two pieces that I had already made from a Dinky Dyes kit I purchased as CATS last year for a Hardanger Scissor Fob. I ended up making two of them out of the same kit, with fibers to spare and they were about the right size to do an experiment. And here it is:

I’m too lazy to take a picture and upload it to give you an idea of the 3-D aspect of it. Let me know if you really want to see it, but it’s pretty much the same kind of dimensions as what you see in Judith’s picture.
Wow, Jenna, that turned out really well!! I love the design and it lends itself so well to be made into a “tuffet”. Great job and I hope you’re feeling better!
What a success. Love your stitching, love your colours, love the way you finished it! Well done!
You did a great job Jenna!
Very cute! You do such nice stitching!
Great colors and a wonderful finish. Congratulations!!
Nice job! I am super impressed!
Your tuffet looks fantastic … like you, I only recently saw a tuffet pincushion design on the StitchingSmalls group, and fell in love with the design … I’ve just ordered a couple of the Twisted Oaks charts, and can’t wait to give it a go … mind you, if they don’t arrive soon, I think I’ll bite the bullet and try anyway. I think one of the Just Nan small charts will look great as a tuffet hmmmm. Also, if you’re worried about getting stains on your stitching, store it in a pillowcase – works for me 🙂
Very pretty! I love the colors. Great finishing.
