Custom Bean Bag No. 1

This page preserves item No. 1 of the original Bean Bags gallery, part of the online portfolio of Cheryl's Needlework Finishing. Every piece in this collection was finished by hand in the studio in Chesterfield, Missouri - the canvas is blocked and pressed, seams are sewn true, and edges are trimmed with hand-made twisted cording before the piece gets its backing or lining.

Cheryl finishes stitchers' own canvases just like this one: weighted bean bags for doorstops and shelves Send your completed needlepoint from anywhere in the U.S., or visit your local needlepoint shop to arrange finishing through Cheryl.
