I’ve discovered that sitting on a completed pair of stitchings and not being able to post the pictures was very, very hard on this little bird. Dropping them in the mail and waiting for them to arrive was very, very hard on this little bird. And I don’t have to tell stitchers how hard it is to cut and sew little scissor fobs! Joni, I’m pleased you are happy with your fobs. May they ever keep the frog far, far from you!

The Americana fob was an experiment for me; I have avoided special stitches for the most part. Here I was able to try satin stitch, algerian eyelets and long stitch stars. I love how they enhanced the relief of the flag. Of course, I was very *relieved* to discover how easy they were to do!
