Yipee, I have a finish!
Ta-dah!
I started making this Key Tray a couple of weeks ago, it took much longer than I thought to finish, but I did use double the wadding which made the quilting slow going! I used stab stitch, checking how the stitches looked on the back as I stitched each stitch .... I would have liked them to be neater!
 |
| This is the back .... and I don't think it looks too bad! |
I used a tutorial a blogging friend recommended which you can read about
 |
| I used safety pins for basting ..... I'm sure they were curved when I bought them ..... but I think they've been used too much, as they aren't now! |
 |
| I stitched around plastic templates I had made for some other stitching project. |
 |
| Using DMC embroidery thread |
and, yipee, it's in use!

That is a lovely finish and obviously fits it's intended us beautifully. Nancy always seems to have some giveaway on the go and this one is a beaut!
I LOVE your little key tray. The puffiness makes it adorable.
Your key tray is perfect. I like that it's puffy because when keys get tossed in it will absorb any sound.

It turned out so gorgeous Barbara, good on you for having a finish to share!! PS I love the puffy look :-)
That well padded key tray will certainly protect your furniture from scratch marks. it will look good anywhere you put it, too.
I love the extra puffiness of it - it looks great. xx

A perfect make, perfect for the keys!
It's lovely, the hand quilting is so neat
What a lovely puffy key tray you've made!
That's a great key tray. If we had one here it would be the last place to look for keys because Hubby never puts anything in the allocated place! But as things are often in the last place you look then maybe it would work.
Did you know you can change the size of the font in Blogger?
What a great idea! I'd never think to make a key tray. Well done.
Love your puffy key tray - colors, quilting, everything!
Perfect little key tray, love the colours,
