..... and two whole weeks off work – boy am I happy today!
Well now, I’ve finished my Blackbird Designs ‘Buttons & Pins’ cross-stitch and then I ummm’d & ahhh’d – "shall I make it up into a pincushion as in the pattern picture (see last post) or frame it. As you can see, I decided on the frame. The frame (a 50p bargain from a recent car boot sale!!) is exactly the right size and I think the black compliments the colours of the design ......... anyone disagree strongly? I could still make it up into a pincushion, but my next little project is going to be a pincushion, which is what swayed me with the frame.

Lovely work Julia whether framed or cushioned up!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeletethis is my first visit to your blog, some early morning lurking! Anyway, I am impressed with your work, such wonderful efforts, and you work full time too, WOW. You are one busy lady.
I'm sitting here looking at this right now. I got it as a PIF. I signed up for three or four of them. Can't remember who's except for Wendy Jo's but I am keeping up my end of the bargain by giving something stitched by me away every other month and the next one will be on my blog on November 1.
