Fully Finished Object

I am so excited to write this post!  On Saturday I attended a class @ my LNS, Panda's Crossing. Donna, the owner, guided us in making a hoop box. She originally learned this technique from the one & only Vonna, the Twisted Stitcher! Vonna's detailed instructions are listed here, should you decide to try this at home.  

In all we had about 17 people sign up for this class.  Some people had their stitched pieces ready to complete the box by days end, while others did not.  Either way was perfectly fine.  

We started out the morning with an unfinished wood base and 6 hoops.

We sanded and stained them all. Then waited for them to dry.  We also cut out the circles for our box top.  

After lunch we began assembling. 

Mid Assembly

By the end of the day this is what my finished project looked like!

Infant Oaks by Cricket Collection (Vicki Hastings).  Stitch & Assembled by Me.  

A few of the ladies were kind enough to allow me to photograph their finished boxes as well.
I just love how they were all made the same way, yet look so different & wonderful!  

Sweet Land of Liberty by Blackbird Designs. Stitched & assembled by Christine

Spring Frolic @ Bunny Hill by With thy Needle & Thread(Brenda Gervais). Stitched & assembled by Tara

"Those who wander" by Emma Congdon (Stitchrovia).  Stitched & assembled by Lydia

This is a finish that I intend to utilize for possible future exchanges and gifts.  I hope this might inspire you to finish something you have laying in wait & ready to go.  
Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed your time here.  Until next time, Stitch on!  = ) Pam
