I bought this kit at Harrogate but was not able to post it here sooner as it was to be a Christmas card for my hubby. Typical in that I was working on it right up to the deadline - not necessarily my fault but I lost a couple of night's stitching when needlework evenings were rejigged and bad weather prevented us from going to our knitting group - yes I know it is sewing but the lovely ladies there don't mind that I sew more often than knit!
I sat in bed until around 1am Christmas morning sewing this until I could hear hubby coming upstairs and then managed to get it framed albeit not very well on Christmas morning when he had to pop out.
The cross-stitching was lovely to do but I can't really say the same for the back-stitching - half stitches and goodness knows what all over the place.
Now Christmas is over I intend to frame it myself in just a small frame, nothing fancy, that we can bring out each year.
Oh you finished it. Well done. Trying to stitch it in secret is a real challenge. Istarted something a couple of years ago for my daughter but now she is 18 she is going to bed almost the same time we do so finding that secret time is proving more difficult. Looking forward to lots of posts this year.
