I've made a good start on my patriotic basket but I'm going to need to find a bigger basket...I still have pieces to finish and others I want to stitch! I have two more finishes to share today.
These were such fun to finish! Both pieces have been waiting for years in the finishing pile, it's about time for them to shine!

I can't find where I posted about this one if I ever did. I know I stitched this once before in 2008 for a Fair and Square exchange. I enjoyed adding beads along the edge.
I poked all my patriotic pieces into a basket. The tuck pillow in the front is bugging me, looking sloppy. I may need to rehab the finishing on it before it makes me crazy. Tucks are cute but inexact. I'm a sucker for perfection...
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Nice finishes and just in time for the nation's birthday.
Your latest patriotic finishes are fabulous especially the 'Tin Pin USA'! What a great looking basket you have created! Enjoy your weekend and have a relaxing 4th!
You give me great hope to get into my pile and get busy! With my pin tuck pillows to keep them neater I go just underneath and blind stitch all around to get it neat and flat. Then I either blanket stitch or do random x’s around here and there. They stay neat forever. I have some going back 6 or 7 years that are good still. Hope that might help
A basket filled with beauty ... nice new finishes
I just love the Twisted Stitches Tin Pin hat, but I can't find any link to the pattern. Please could you advise me? Thank you very much in advance!
More cute Patriotic finishes!

Your finishing is beautiful! I am going to make a try at it. The patriotic finishes are a great reminder of the reason for celebration
Great finishes! I have a couple sitting on top of the sewing machine and one I'm trying to finish stitching - I don't think I'm going to make it by the 4th. Oh well - I'm going to finish them anyway and I'll be ahead of the game for next year!
Just put a few little stitches in that tuck pillow and it will be fine!
Love them all! Well done!
Really, really cute and the imperfect tucks don't bother me a bit! Love your little display of patriotism. xo Diana
Wow love your basket ,your little pillows all look wonderful.
Nice basket of pillows. I like the beaded edges.
You are so ready for the 4th! Great looking collection.

What a super display! I have dozens of patriotic stitches done, but have never finished any of them.
Great inspiration to do some finishing of stitched patriotic pieces so thank you for sharing the pics! Love the basket with them all together!
Those finishes are utterly fantastic. Huge congrats on finishing them all so adorably. I really like your patriotic basket - it's as pretty as anything I've seen.
Your basket looks great!
Beautiful choice of design and stitching. Happy 4th of July
You'll definitely need a bigger basket! Very patriotic of you.
I just love them all Sharon! Your finishing is great, the LK one is especially cute!
Love these so much--especially the red, white, and blue beaded edge. They do take a while, but they are so worth the effort :)
Hope you had a fun 4th!
