My Scottish cross stitch
I am so impressed by all the fabulous patriotic American cross stitch charts there are out there. So I decided that I wanted something Scottish for myself. None of the Scottish cross stitch patterns I've seen really appealed to me - so there was only one thing for it - I decided to design my own!
Started small with this little pillow with just Scotland and a thistle on it. I backed it up with some tartan fabric.
Put it together with my vintage Scotland map and this little vintage piper lady doll - isn't she cute?
I've loads of ideas for more Scottish and hometown cross stitch patterns. If I was fully finishing this one again I would add some tartan to the front - think it is a bit squashed looking. Never mind - we live and learn.
Love, Liz

Dolly looks a wee bit startled in this picture - perhaps she's afraid of heights! |
