\nI’ve decided how I’m going to finish this one, printed out the photo from when I did the same finish a few years ago<\/a> and bookmarked the Flanged Pillow instructions in Summer Louise Truswell’s Needlework: From Stitch to Finish book<\/a>. I just need to muster the courage (and clean up the floor enough) to start.<\/p>\n

\nThis piece is my pride and joy. The designer had finished it as a square with a beaded edge that looks absolutely nothing like what I did with it. Plus she kitted it with these baby pink beads that don’t even begin to match with any color in this piece. They were truly horrible. So, I went to Michaels and picked out some new beads. I just decided that I didn’t want all the white space of extra fabric in the corners that a square finish would have and I went from there. I was totally winging the fringed edge and it took a couple of hours to do, but it was totally<\/em><\/strong> worth it, in my opinion. My favorite finish of all!<\/p>\n
