My niece is an awesome cross stitcher. She had given me these pieces and I had yet to decide on a finish. I had thought to frame them but decided against that as my wall space is limited and full!
Pillas seemed to fit the bill. This fabric and buttons just seemed to be bought for this sampler she gave me for Valentines Day! Fabric is a fat qt from quilt show 2 yrs ago. Buttons were a Joann's impulse sale buy!
Some knob hangers as I call them. This is a lovely Easter egg. I quilted around it then stuffed it a bit to sit above the batting.
It is hanging under mantle to proclaim Easter!
Last one is this smaller hanger. Spring is hung on a knob of dining room hutch. Need to bring in some fresh hyacinths to match it in purple!
I love the way you finished everything off! Almost makes me want to try cross stitch again!
