After I stitched that Hardanger Cloth for Joan, I told myself that I am going to do something for myself next. I decided on a CA Wells piece.
Here is what it looked like earlier today.
Her pieces are so beautiful but it is amazing how much work they are. I spent a good part of the day putting it together.
I am so glad to have this piece done and am very happy with the results. Now I have to "regroup" and decide what to work on next!
So...what about these Gingher Charlene's? It seems there is something peculiar about these. They don't seem to be as readily available as others have. When I got my 4" pair at Joann's, they did not have any of the 8". However, they did have both on-line. Since they were 50% off, I decided I needed an 8" too--besides, they are purple. But by Sunday, the 4" were no longer on-line.
Well, that's all I got for now. Have a great rest of the weekend!

I managed to get a pair of the 4' at my local Joann's and they had the 8" too but they were in a strange spot. I don't know what is up.
That is really beautiful Jill!~ I love her pieces although extensive work, well worth it in the end..Nice job~
Jill, your CA Wells piece is absolutely gorgeous! I have not had the opportunity to try one of her projects but hope I will someday. You did a great job on the finishing too!

Such a beautiful finish! Glad you found your 8" purple Charlene scissors!
Great job, JillMN:) I will need to stitch mine sometime soon. That inspires me.
Your finish is wonderful Jill. Good for you for making something for yourself!
And I know what you mean about the scissors - one store near me didn't have any, one store just had the large ones and one store just had the smaller ones. I took off with a pair of the smaller ones and thanked my lucky stars I got a pair.
wow Jill that is a lovely finish! Bet you will enjoy it for years to come :)
Gorgeous finish Jill. It looks like a lot of work but the result is spectacular.

It's fabulous!
Beautiful CA finish Jill! The colours are amazing and so is your stitching and finishing!
Lovely colors and finish! I'm holding a giveaway today only (4/22), for Earth Day.
and at our Joann's they had the big ones and no little ones! :) But their rotary scissors with the same name were a complete different pattern, and so was the needle threader. Same shade of purple, but completely different flowers!
Lovely finish Jill
The purple scissors are wonderful too
