Sewing room cross stitch


This is one of my all time favourite cross stitches that I have done.  It took quite a while, but the beauty of this one was that there were lots of small bits, so it was great to finish a small patch and feel like you were actually getting somewhere.  I also love the details in this one - my favourite parts are the tassels on the doilies. 

I also had this one framed professionally.  It cost a fortune, but it was worth it, because it has buttons and charms and they build up the frame mat to make sure the glass stays off them.

I haven't mastered the art of taking a photo of glass, so I apologise for the glare.  Hopefully you can still get the idea.....


I just love the detail in these tassels.
I didn't even realise this little Noah's Ark was on there until I stitched it.  It's the smallest Noah's Ark I've ever stitched (I've done a few), but I think it's amazing how you can still tell what it is.




A different type of tassel, but so, so cute!
Have a great weekend....

    Thanks Graciela and JCMITQuilts! So nice to get comments. I was given the kit for Christmas one year. It included the pattern and charms but that is all. I had to buy the Aida and threads, but it was all worth it, as it is one of my favs.

      Hi Gloria, use 2 threads, make a loop and tack at the top to hold it in place, then cut the loop.
