I spent the last 3 days running my sewing machine. I got so many things finished! I also sewed up some new CQ blocks. But I'll start with this little Basket Kitten Handbag. Is this just too cute or what! I love making these. I'll share more of my finishing over the next few days.

The Feather Stitch for Tuesday's Seam Treats
One of the girls at the Hand Embroidery Yahoo Group pointed out to me that if I do 3 seam treatments a day for 100 days, that would be 300 designs! Somehow, that sounded really cool to me so that's what I'm shooting for! Since I only offered my readers 2 yesterday, I'm giving you 4 for today!
Sharon set the theme for today's seam treats by discussing the Feather Stitch on her In A Minute Ago blog. I love the feather stitch. Not only is it a beautiful stitch but it's so much fun to do! So I've charted the basic feather stitch for you and then am offering 3 different embellished versions.

Enjoy!

Basket Kitten 3 Handbag
Last post for today! I just finished sewing up the Vogart Poodle and Basket Kitten #3. I'll share the Poodle tomorrow maybe but thought I'd post this since I have a few minutes before the dryer shuts off!
It didn't quite fit on the scanner but I think you can see it well enough. The beaded fringe at the bottom are little leaves. I used satin cording for the little handles.
Tomorrow, I plan to do some more finishing! I'm on a roll!
