Mary Garry
I have been sorting thru my projects & this Mary Garry flatfold was (has been) on the bottom of the stack in my basket, since 2005! Sigh.The idea was to stitch the flatfold [DONE] hemstitch the outer edge [DONE], and make a small pocket for the inside [NOT DONE] ... select some nice fabric & add thread rings [NOT DONE]I just got a darling freebie & thought it might be a great motif for the pocket. Then, went thru the patterns I own & think I liked all of these darling maidens.
This one is from She Who Sews c.1995 Mary GarryI used suggested Anchor floss
This motif, (c.1995 Mary Garry She Who Sews) is nearly identical to the FREEBIE (last picture in this post). The colors are different.I used suggested Anchor floss.
This is from a Mary Garry FREEBIE, Sew & Sew and I used both DMC and Anchor floss colors: dmc 931,and rest anchor per suggested on pattern.
Last, but not least, Mary Garry FREEBIE called She Who SewsOK, I like all of them : ) and I'm thinking, if I want to be consistent, I should probably use the left over Milkpaint Silks which came with the kit!! and use the same linen as I started with.The cute maiden motifs won't go to waste, they were totally fun to stitch & would be cute sewing smalls

Well how pretty is this?! And all the little stitching maidens .... looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Love them, makes me want to dig my Mary Garry's out!
It's gorgeous!
I really like your Mary Garry flatfold. Shame she's not longer designing.
Great choices for your inside panel! I have loved this design for years and I think your choice of finishing is perfect for it!
All very lovely, Lelia. Can't wait to see what you're going to do with them! :)
Lovely finishes. Congratulations on the award too. :0)
What wonderful piece. I love the flatfold.
Oh! This just reminded me that I have a She Who Sews project in the works, too LOL
The more I see them stitched up the more I can't wait to stitch them myself! You're doing a beautiful job with them! ;-)
Your flatfold is precious and I can't wait to see your "finish" finish. The colors are so wonderful - are they the Kreinik Milkpaint silks that came with the kit or that are called for on the chart? Thanks, Barbie
It's so nice !
I like Mary Garry !
