Unfortunately the finished piece is too large for the box... so I have to find another piece to stitch for it! This is my second attempt... not having much luck. But thanks for sharing your technique. I will remember it for the next time!

I've wanted to do a box finish for *ages* (I'm talking YEARS here!), even have the box, but couldn't figure out how to make it pretty :) The ribbon you used to cover your edges is simple and *brilliant*, and the little buttons coordinate perfectly with the design; wonderful finish!!!

No better way to finish off this stitch I think as it's a perfect place now to keep all sorts of little stitching things :)<br /><br />PS: I was reading your past blog posts you linked on this post and I noticed you nearly lost your job. OH I'm just so happy everything worked out for you :) I went back to being employed (thank god) in June and that post brought back all the stress at first but then the happiness of getting a job again! Here's to the fast approaching school year ;)<br /><br />MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985600535017248188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740614756036914018.post-51621722387706987562013-07-29T07:11:58.776-07:002013-07-29T07:11:58.776-07:00Sweet finish!

Was that hard to do? 2) What kind of paint brush did you use?<br />3) I can't tell how you folded down the sides of the fabric so neatly. Can you describe that process?<br /><br />Just gave you more work! ;-)<br /><br />Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509728430110361806noreply@blogger.com
