Back in June 2007 my dear friend, Lisa, sent me a get well present.  She sent me a beautiful pair of Gingher scissors (I believe the design is Maria).  Anyway, I pretty much picked out some fabric and a pattern right away and started stitching a fob for these gorgeous scissors.  I got about 70% done with the stitching and stopped working on it.  For months and months and months it sat on my dresser collecting dust.  This past weekend I finally picked it up and finished it.  I wanted to do a ribbon rouching for the edge of the fob but the ribbon I had was too narrow, so I ordered some 13mm ribbon from my favorite LNS on Sunday and it was in my mailbox today!  I just finished applying the ribbon edge and couldn’t wait to upload the photos.  Isn’t it pretty?  I love how it turned out!

Thanks, Lisa!  I love, love, love the scissors.  They are sure to get lots of use now that my fob is done. =)

The details:

I used this pattern.  I used Gloriana silks in Fiesta 037.  This is my all time favorite silk.  So soft!  The fob was meant to be stitched over one but as much as I love the look of over one stitching, I don’t like stitching over one.  The fabric was a piece of Lakeside Linens Thistle Pink from my stash.  The rouching instructions were adapted from Plush.
