Topic: Cross Stitch
These two boxes are ones that my mother stitched. The first is going to be a workshop in October and it has over one stitching and a multiple darning spot in it. Multiple darning means to me that you have both horizontal and vertical threads woven on top of your fabric. The design fits in a box that we got at a local shop. It's not as big as it may seem, I'd say about 14 x 20cm. You don't have a lot of room to put motifs in, but that's part of the challenge.
The second box is one we stitched for friends who celebrated their 50th birthdays in July. We had a lot of fun putting this together and it's not as complicated as the first one.
In the meantime The Bookshelf and The Quils Sampler from Little House Needleworks are at the framers. I think we picked the perfect frame for both. It's a small frame, but has the right colors in it. Hopefully we can pick them up next week.
Yesterday evening I finished my second exchange gift and I thought I could start something new. I have been wanting to stitch Scary Wabbit for so long, that I sorted out the fabric and threads and got started.
I selected Black Forest 32 count from Lakeside Linens and like how it's turning out. It's probably a quick stitch, but I am going to try to finish it as in the picture. I have Scarecrow Wabbit done that way (not by myself though) and it's adorable.
I plan on stitching one of the pumpkins as a little scissor fob. It's a pity she didn't include a little scissor fob design with the pattern. The one she did for Scarecrow Wabbit is adorable. I will have to make a picture of the back of how that one is finished, it has a little pouch in which you can put your scissors.
This weekend I will also start one of my JBW Designs, that I need to have done before our open days in September. They're not big though and look like they're pretty easy to stitch.
