First Finish

I have a finish for the year 2015!  I got the grapes scissors case all done.  It is so fun when all the pieces come together.  Thank you Amy Mitten for a brilliant design and wonderful step-by-step directions to get me through stumpwork which I have no clue about.  This is the front:

This is the back:

The grapes on the back are flatter.
This is inside:

This is me holding it upside down to show you that the scissors are held inside by a magnet sewn under the center grape on the front of the case:

Okay, so now I'm ready for Amy Mitten's Quaker Sewing box that comes out on the 19th.

Things always come up that you never expect.  I was tickled pink yesterday when the Shining Needle Society offered a class for Barbara Jackson's Sylvan Scenes Basket.  I saw it offered at Celebrations and I so wanted to take it.  So it is great to have the opportunity.  I found a basket that will be perfect for it too.  I ordered it through my guild a couple of years ago.  I have a thing for baskets.  I made Barbara's Tea Time Basket a couple of years ago.  They said this is her last basket since the baskets are so hard to find.

I think I am going to keep working on Eleonora's Box.  First I want to finish the scissors case since it is mostly stitched.
I put a few stitches in Anne Hathaway's Cottage Needlebook just because it was on the floor by my stitching chair.  So you can see how I choose what to do next:  location, location, location.
