You might remember that I "finished" this ribbon embroidered pincushion
a little while back. I thought it was ready to mail to its recipient, but I kept
looking at it and thinking that it was missing something...so I waited.
Over last weekend, it occurred to me.
I needed to add a ruffled seam binding trim to the edge.
When I was finished stitching the trim to the edge of the pincushion,
I knew that it was finally finished. I really loved the "little bit more"
that I added. The next morning I wrapped it, posted it and sent it on its way.
I'll share it with you, along with the story behind it tomorrow.

I bet you're all ready for another holiday weekend!
Handsome is back home after a week spent with his brother,
so we're looking forward to a nice relaxing few days,
and some time spent with dear friends.
Happy Friday!
