Rachel, Ten Hour Stitcher, is the super host of Fully Finished Objects which is a great opportunity to show and tell about our crafty items that are completely finished.
I haven't been stitching much this year and as most of my stitching is gifted I can only share once given. My first FFO is a gift for my friends' 40th anniversary, I did show it in last month's Gifted Gorgeousness.
It's a while since I did any beadwork but I managed to find my beading needle, annoyingly it still didn't go through some beads as their holes were too small.
My friend Mary sent two lovely Santas for my tree. I'll be putting it up early December along with the others who help fill St Laurence's with Christmas joy. They are lovely, thank you Mary.
My final Fully Finished Object is a huge one ... it's taken my years to finish this. My tablecloth was a Round Robin in 2010. I placed the various Lizzie Kate designs and once home I just needed to do the edging.
Just being the word but in reality it has taken ages. It was a big job to work out the alignment and for ages it stayed in my to do bag. I did a bit then put it away and other big projects came first.
This year I took it on our holidays and although I don't stitch much when away I did get started and then decided to focus hard on finishing it. The cutting took as long as the stitching. I have only done kloster blocks as doing wrapped bars would have taken even longer.
I'm really pleased with it and it fits our table well. Thank you to everyone who stitched on this RR.
My final Fully Finished Object is the ornament I stitched for the Needlecraft Haven Autumn Exchange. I'll share details in my Gorgeousness Gifted post in a few days.
Thank you Rachel for hosting and thank you to everyone who pops by and leaves a comment.

Hello Clare: Love the table topper, so pretty, I bet it feels so good to have it done and displayed on your table.
The Santas are so cute, the Wedding Sampler is so pretty and the Autumn ornament is so pretty.

Everything looks really good Clare. The Santas look better with your finishing. It must be satisfying to have your table runner finally finished and in use.
What lovely finishes, Clare! Your Lizzie Kate piece is so sweet--I'm sure stitching that up took lots of love and patience :) I'm sure your friend will treasure the pretty anniversary sampler. Enjoy this countdown to Christmas!
