Xmas gift for a friend

[Rbarleatherworks]

Just thought I would share a little gift I made for a friend for Xmas.

This is her Brand, and she only uses rope Halters.

Love to hear your thoughts on how I did.  This is my first project since setting up my shop again for 3 years.

Very nice, basketweave is really great as is the edge around the brand cutouts.

Thanks for your comments, It did get a bit tight between the heart and the half diamond so that was all I could think of doing, any suggestions on another way to attach other than make more room to have a cleaner stitch and stamp space?

Would it have been better if I hand stitched it?  I just used my Singer Patcher.

I doubt one in a hundred would even know it was machine stitched. Present forum excepted...however I didn't notice!

Whatever you did, keep doing that. It looks amazing. I can only hope to achieve something that looks so perfectly nice and clean.

That basketweave is outstanding! The whole package looks good but the basketweave is really well done.

Thank you for your kind words, I have to say the look in her eyes when she opened it up were worth a million dollars, she loved it

Oh wow thanks so much, every time I do a basket weave I always think I'm doing it perfect and then you have a look and see how wonky it went, it is much easier with the bigger tool than the small one though I am finding.  Love the traditional basket weave... one of my favorites

Merry Christmas

You have riches worth more than any sum of money. Well done.

Nicely done, also nice job sewing with a patcher, what thread did you use in your patcher to complete this project.

I just used run of the mill Black Nylon Machine Thread.  From Tandy,  I don't have any fancy thread..... Yet !!!
