Ever get carried away with a project? Last year I bought a cross stitch pattern to make a few gifts-- and keep a couple for myself. Well...
Um, yes, there are more...
And when I thought I was done, my daughter asked me to make this one for her.
So I made every one on the pattern for my house! That's okay; I did get the gifts made too!
Enjoy!
Those are awesome! Gosh, I haven't done cross stitch in FOREVER! I miss it! I might have to find one to work on this winter!... Donna
ReplyDeleteThese turned out great! I love Prairie Schooler! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love PS too!
DeleteI've done tons of crafts like quilting and embroidery and calligraphy, etc. But rarely cross-stitch. I was looking for a small Halloween cross-stitch pattern and came across this post. I love these! Can you tell me how you finished them? I'd love to learn!
ReplyDeleteBasically, cut lightweight cardboard to the size you want the finished cross stitch to be. Put a little fiberfill or thin batting over the cardboard then "stretch" your cross stitch over the fiberfill. Glue and/or tape to the back. Glue the back to a piece of felt-- add a ribbon (or etc.) hanger at this point if you want to hang it-- then just trim the felt as desired. I used pinking shears to get that decorative edge on mine. Takes a little patience to get it centered and all, but it's a fairly easy process. Good luck and thanks for the comment!
