cross stitch card




This is a card I have done for a friend who is 22 years sober. Two little ducks, geddit?!

Having a bit of trouble with the old PB but will put pics of the others when I have finished them.

Very clean needlework FM - from someone who always pricks her finger with needles! How do you mount your work for the card?

Re: cross stitch card


Will post more when I get the better of PB. Angie, I just fray the edges and mount straight onto card or use an aperture card. If its a picture I put a layer of fleece behind to pad it. I can get really cheap frames from charity shops or if its a present I buy new.

Thank Dinky but I feel a bit of a fraud cos I'm only following a pattern, like knitting. I do sometimes have to space things and centre things depending on what I'm doing. I sometimes improvise colours or occasionally make up designs, only simple ones though.
