WIPs

As promised here is my Odds and Ends through part 2. This one is very colorful and lots of fun to stitch. I am using up lots of leftover silks for this one!

I also was able to continue on Zentangle so I now have it up through part 6. This is not a good photo but it is getting too big for the scanner and the heavy fabric kept sliding out! Next time I will have to pull out the camera and see if that is better. I am so loving this one I can hardly put it down. I seem to finish up parts when the moderaters in Germany are sleeping and I have to wait to get the next parts. But I will be caught up with this one soon I hope.

I have a couple of days before my next model arrives so I am trying to get some personal stitching done. I do have other things that I need to work on but these have been so much FUN!!

Until next time...

The Mad Stitcher said...: Hi Rebecca. I am not sure of what the word actually means but this is a chart for a stitch-a-long in the German yahoo group. http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/Sticklounge/ You will need to join the group and then join the SAL. There are plenty of English speakers there to help out when needed. HTH.

Stitched Needlework Art & Consignment Pieces

SPECIAL ORDER only!

The MadStitcher now offers consignment stitching and Needlework Art pieces for sale. Needlework Art is completely stitched, but not framed or finished needlework design pieces, unless otherwise noted. These are heirloom quality needlework pieces which are stitched on high quality fabrics.

The pieces are ready to frame or finish. They can be taken to your local needlework shop or frame shop for appropriate finishing. All pieces will come to you with a list of suggestions and ideas for finishing and/or displaying the piece.

All will arrive with a certificate stating the design name, company name, the designers name, who stitched the piece and the year purchased.

*** Consignment pieces will not be stitched until ordered with a 1/2 of the price down payment, which can be made by cashier's check, money order or by using PayPal. The pieces will take anywhere from 2-9 months to stitch. Please ask for length of stitching time estimates. You may make payments each month based upon the estimated time for stitching, again please ask for details. Payment if full is expected before the piece is mailed.

Once an order has been placed, the first payment has to be made before the stitching will commence. The first payment is for buying the stitching supplies and therefore is non-refundable unless agreed to by me and a 10% cancellation fee will be applied.

Personalizing pieces such as wedding samplers, birth samplers and Christmas Stockings, are included in the cost. However, if other pieces are personalized an extra charge will be added. Finishing is also extra. No framing will be done.

Samplers which normally have the needle workers initials and the date stitched will be stitched using the initials of the stitcher and the date completed.

For pricing and more information about consignment stitching please email me at kathy@madstitcher.com.
