Cutting it fine!
Literally - I just made it! Look at those margins!
I got this Lizzie Kate cross stitch pattern from a local craft shop shop. I wanted to start right away, so when I got home a found a piece of fabric which looked like it might fit. I found the centre, put it in a hoop and started.
This is how it turned out! How on earth could I have so misjudged the centre? Also cutting it fine with how much space there would be left on either side. But at least I used up a piece of fabric from my stash. Going to make a hanging, finish it on some red tartan - also from my stash! Every Scottish crafter will have a bit of tartan somewhere - am I right, folks?
Love this little quilt shop stitching from Cross Country Stitching. Changed the colours. The little stand is one of those that come with a tiny canvas - I just painted it white. Think it's great for showing off little stitchings. Must finish it off with some fabric, though.
Not so sure about this one ...hmm! Too pink, perhaps. But at least I centered it properly!
It's been a busy stitching week!
Love, Liz

I wind up doing monsters that I lose interest in and put away for months on end. My worst is something I started in 1991 and keep saying, I'll finish someday
I have a couple of those little easels, never thought of painting them, great idea :-)
