Stitchy Finish Question

Just a quick question for you all: What is your favorite way to finish a stitching project? OR (if you don't stitch) What would be your preferred type of stitched gift?

Framed? Pillow/cushion? Pin keep? Ornament? Box? Other?

I like little pillows or pin keeps

Joy said...

Depends on the size. I'll either do pillows or small framed pieces if I can squeeze them into a standard size frame

Dawn said...

pillows, pinkeeps, things to hang up, i love them all.

I like ornaments or pin pillows (or mini pillows) or flat folds if I were receiving a gift.

I love boxes! But I usually frame/pillow my finishes.

Valma said...

I would love to frame more stitchings...but no space enough to hang them :-/
I must admit I try many different and new finishes, I love little pillows but I'm addicted to zipped pouches those days =D
it really depends on the stitching and the recipient =)

Little cushion for me any time!

We don't stitch but we'd like Christmas ornaments. We kind of like the idea of things on the tree that makes us think of friends present and gone. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly

Yes, that is the question isn't it?! I asked this on my blog at the top of the month too. I decided to go with a door knob hanger for my friend who does not stitch. I like small pillows. But a non-stitcher, I don't think they would. Also I decided on a flatfold for another gift.

All I know is a certain one you did and framed is a real treasure that I see and look at every day.

Catherine said...

I'm not one for favorites ~ I love it all!! Sometimes how I finish a piece depends on my mood, the piece itself, or who I may be giving it to.

Bernadett said...

I usually finish them as pouch,bag,decoration...notebook cover.

Varies....depends on what I am stitching!

Julie said...

Anything that has been handmade is always so very special no matter what the finish is.

Little hanging ornaments :)

Parsley,
I agree with Julie (above comment). But I'd probably get more use out of a box or framed piece.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Your Friend,

I tend to frame my works. I haven't tried another method yet-- although I am working on six ornaments. So, ornaments will be a new one for me to try.

Anne said...

Pillows, pinkeeps or frames for me as they are the easiest! Although a box finish is becoming a fav of mine now!!

Carol said...

Definitely tiny pillows or ornaments (I guess you can tell that from my blog :)

Pumpkin said...

Pin keeps are always easy to make and you can either hang them or display them in a basket :o)

Pam in IL said...

Pinkeep, pillow, flat ornie, biscornu, needlebook, scissor fob. I love them all and it just depends on the piece, season, or my mood which finish I like the best at any given moment.

Meari said...

Oh gee... I like all kinds of finishing and have tried them all. For ornaments, I like the flat ornament finishes the best. I guess it depends on the stitched piece as to what finish I use.
