YESSS! I completed "Autumn Colors" this morning, spent almost an hour cracking my head how to finish it up and finally, some five hours later, ta-ta-ta-dah...

As I've shared earlier, Olga intended this design for a scissors fob but being short of resources, I used Aida. Naturally, this turned out bigger than expected so I have turned it into a needlebook cum scissors case. The finished work now measures 8cm X 8cm.

Used yellow ocher checks for the back and scissors pocket to coordinate with the brown interior. Didn't have the right color felt so I improvised and used a piece of Aida for parking the needles. I also added the maroon and dull green silk ribbons to give the inside a little more colour.

The front, I decided on a beaded border to enhance the beading on the design.

More pictures of the finished project...

... and now, for a much deserved rest :-)
