Finishing is often a problem for stitchers. Show me a stitcher and I’ll show you the boxes (yes, usually more than one) of stitched but not finished objects (anyone have a better name for these?).
I think I spend much of my life looking for things which can be finished easily. You probably do too. Here’s a round up of what I’ve found so far.

Does anyone still sell the FAS-Stitch Pendants? I’ve searched the web to no avail. What a lovely idea.
