Tanya over at The Scarlett House created a lovely designed set that is sure to be on the top of your list for purchase.

*For information on Maddie, other designs by Tanya and where to purchase them, please go to: The Scarlett House
Tanya generously asked me to finish her cover models for Maddie, so I put together some tutorials for the finishing of the set and you may access them at my new tutorials blog, where I give tips, hints and updated information on finishing this set and other things perfectly ~ each and every time. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but this one has learned some over the years and I started my new tutorials blog so that I could update my finishing techniques and share them with those of you that may be interested.
To learn how to finish the set, please access the tutorials at the provided links:
As always, thank you for visiting and until next time, I'll be keeping 'my hands to work and heart to God'.
Hugs and love,


Well, you have been a busy little bee! I love it when you are busy in the craft room! Keep at it - you keep me inspired!! Hugs Bestie!

ReplyDeleteThe Maddie set is just darling. And your finishing is amazing as always. Thank you so much for the tutorials. Yours are always so clear and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteVonna, this is a gorgeous set! and while I don't think I can finish anything very well, it is always nice to have your tutorials to pour over and dream about!!! Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so generous with your tutorials, Vonna! I saw your pics in Flickr and quickly rushed to your tutorial blog to see if you were posting about it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it--they will help me tremendously. Love the finishing, too!
ReplyDeleteWell, I had to giggle when I came across this post.. First my daughter's name is Madison which we call her Maddie and then to find out the talented gals name is Tanya.. Made me giggle.. My name is Tanya too and spelled the same way..
ReplyDeleteWonderful new tutorials, Vonna! I especially like the chenille trimming. I'll often choose my trims by what hides ends/stitches best...that chenille looks perfect!
