"Briar Rabbit" by La-D-Da,
is completely finished.
Even though I have envisioned it framed from the start,
I made a decision to make it a decorator pillow
inspired by a recent design
from Brenda Gervais ~ "Letters for Santa".
I took a chance trying to find the right color of 'ticking fabric'.
It was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack...but I got lucky.
After toning it down with walnut crystals I think I did good.
I used cluny lace trim instead of ric rac with which I am very pleased.
Yaaaa, another finished project and I am HAPPY!

Briar Rabbit is so pretty. Framed stitcheries are nice, but so are pillows. All of your work is lovely :)
