I am so thrilled ....... I have finished the stitching on my LHN Home of a Needleworker. It is the first big project I have worked on in cross-stitch and am so pleased I finished. Now to find a frame to fit, or should I take it to a framer? A 'do it myself ' would be cheaper, but can I do it? Only one way to find out...
Here it is, not a good photo
I know there are a couple of stitches in the wrong place and I didn't get my name spaced out evenly, but it's a finish, so I'm happy.
Well my next finish this week was a small doll quilt, made for a challenge on 'smallquilttalk' yahoo group. The challenge was to use a four-patch block and there was lots of talk about red and white quilts, so I had a go. Here's my attempt, it measures 9 1/2 by 14 inches, and the big stitch quilting was done by hand. All the fabric I found in my stash, which surprised me as I don't use a lot of red in my patchwork.
My little mohair bear I made last year seems to like it.
Now I'm starting on Christmas ornaments, I've just ordered two LHN charts so hope I can get them finished before December. I'll keep you posted on progress
Happy stitching!
