Needlework finishing by Suzanne Cogar
You did the stitching. I'll finish it by hand into an ornament, a pillow, a framed panel or something one of a kind, and send it back to you in 30 days. Many finishers have already closed their holiday books. I've saved a few spots.
Reserve a holiday spotLast call for the 2026 holiday season. I take only as many pieces as I can finish beautifully. For the holidays, your piece needs to reach me by Wednesday, November 25.

This is my workroom. Every piece on these walls and shelves was made or finished by hand, right here.
When you send me your stitching, it comes to this room, gets my full attention, and goes home finished.
Four simple steps. You'll know the price and the finish before you mail anything.
Fill out the form below with a photo of your stitching and a picture of the look you love.
I'll write back with your finish, your exact price and your spot on my holiday list.

I email you pictures as I go, and it ships home within 30 days of the day it arrives.
Once I receive your item, we will collaborate by email with pictures. You will be as involved as you want to be every step of the way. If a decision is to be made, I will give you some options and take your lead.Suzanne
Every finish is done by hand, by me, one piece at a time. Prices start here and depend on size and trims.
from $225Mounted and trimmed with fabric, lace, cord or natural touches like pinecones.
from $310Your stitching wrapped around a tall drum (a cylinder shape) with a lace topper. A gift that sits out all season.
from $375A standing dome finished with vintage-style touches. No two are alike.
My prices reflect the time and attention it takes to curate the perfect materials for the perfect finish.
I confirm your exact price before you ship. Half is due when I confirm your spot, the rest, plus insured return shipping at cost, when your piece is finished.
Two cardinals, two moods. One got organdy and a gold bow, a little bit fancy. The other got pinecone fabric, jute and a real pinecone, more woodsy. Tell me the feeling you want, and I'll choose fabrics and trims to match.
I film my finishes on my YouTube channel, Suzanne in Ohio. Pull up a chair.
When my holiday list is full, the form pauses. It reopens in January with the same 30-day promise.
When I'm not finishing your needlework, I paint, quilt and build fabric collages, often from what's already in my stash. Some of it is in my Etsy shop, along with my slow stitch bird kits.
These pieces are in my shop right now. Every piece ships free, and checkout happens on my Etsy shop.

I'm Suzanne Cogar, stitching in Hartville, Ohio. I paint, quilt, sew and stitch, and I've been selling my work on Etsy for 12 years. Some of my favorite finishes are rescued stitching: a piece someone started or set aside, finished and given a home. Finishing is where a piece of stitching becomes a gift, and I treat yours like it's going on my own shelf.
I work at my own pace and keep my list small on purpose, so every piece gets my full attention and comes home on time.
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.Ecclesiastes 3:11
Tell me about your piece. I'll write back within two days with your finish, your price and your spot.
