Fully Finished Gallery - April 2025 🖼

Welcome to Rachel's 

Fully Finished Gallery SAL for April 2025.

This is a great way to make sure I actually fully finish my stitched pieces! 

Please consider joining this monthly SAL, it just might inspire you.

This one has been stitched for years, and I finally officially finished it. I had a makeshift finish before, but I didn't like it.

I bought this little frame at our Joanne Fabrics store. I think it's one of the last ones to go in our area? It had a little mark on the upper left corner, but I decided to add these little buttons to represent Mia and Maverick and cover it.

You can find this pattern at Cross Stitch Happy

Mia doesn't seem all that impressed.

And Maverick tried to bite his representation!

Another sad month for finishing, but at least I did one!

Please be sure to take a look at what the others have finished this time.

A few lovely surprises!🥰

I still have to post about the Nashville Market, but here are a couple nice surprises I had there!

If you already follow Mary @Mary's Thread, then you know about this already!

I was in the Jean Farish Needlework room, when someone said my name, it was Mary, what a wonderful surprise! How great to see a fellow blogger there!

We got to chat a little bit, but I wish we could have spent more time together. If we both go next year, we'll have to set aside some time to really talk!

My next surprise was when Amy said hello/goodbye to Nicola as she was heading to the elevator.

Wait, Nicola, from Cornwall?! Yes!

She had a blog years ago, Stitching by the Cornish Seashore, and now you can find her at Hands Across the Sea Samplers. So that was cool!

My third lovely surprise was Rahenna @Crafty Rahenna gifting me her pattern for the Mill Hill Autumn Key. She finished hers and I had admired loved it! Here it is, looking great.

She even gave me some perforated paper and what was left of the kit, in addition to some extra pretty floss. Look at how organized she is with her threads! It will certainly make it easier.

I decided to try stamping it green, since I had seen it done before somewhere online. Not too bad!

So thank you so much Rahenna, for sharing this chart with me. After I'm finished with it (which might not be until the summer) I'll pass it along too, with a giveaway!
