As you already know, my end finish is never what I planned.
So here is the finished Spot, in a small bag to carry coins for maybe horse trading back in the day. I dyed the finished piece, left it wrinkled, backed it with black wool and used black leather lacing to tie. Spot was too good looking for me, not dark enough, not primitive enough, and once this popped into my head, I knew it would give me the look I wanted. It's much darker than seen in this photo because of the flash.

I've been checking Facebook pages and wanted to post on the Prim Stitchers page, but I am so confused! I need to find a Facebook for Dummies tutorial.
Hope your week - the last few days of March - will be a good one.
Thanks for visiting.

Spot looks wonderful. I love the way the make these pieces your own.
Love this finish of Spot even more than on a lid of a box!!!

To finish Spot the way you did is a perfect idea. You little pouch will look great hanging from a peg rack.
Much better than the way I suggested----on a box top.
Looking forward to warmer weather next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Also looking forward to your next project. I hope your foot is feeling much better and that Carole is doing well.

Very nice. I love the way you start a project and finish the entire thing. I just stitch it up and throw in a pile.

He is perfect, it looks like a bag to keep coins in for parking meters. Here in RI we still have some, at least they do on the street where my Dentist is located. You are indeed very clever and crafty ( in a good way, the other definition I have no knowledge) Stay well.
Absolutely gorgeous! You've made one of my favorite designs even better with your finish!
Love the finish!
Marley: The dye job turned out just perfect.

I hope you are healing super fast.
I also hope Carol is still doing better.
Happy Easter
