Finally Mum's Birthday Cross Stitch is finished!! I chose this cross stitch for my Mum’s birthday as it has everything that represents her hobbies, sewing, quilts, knitting even an African violet.
I won’t let on how many years it took but let’s put it this way it took Julia Child 7 or so years to write her "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and I put just as much care and attention into my cross stitch masterpiece for my lovely Mum!!
The cross stitching took lots of summer holidays with so much fine detail. Every inch seemed to add another aspect to the picture.
Finally it was on to the back stitching.
Check out the fine detail on this Quilt.
Hey quilter do you think you can make one of
these for mum's wall. :-)
Check out the real tassels "How Neat is that?"
Tiny little charms just add to the charm!
So pleased to have it finished for you Mum! You are worth every single stitch!
Hand lacing took most of the afternoon and now it is off at the framers.
Can't wait to give it to Mum.
Lots of the Lovexx The Gardener xx
Home made Fruit Cakes and Mini Chocolate Cakes to top things off!
