At As You Like It Challenge we have a theme to get you thinking outside the box. We would love to see your non card project.
After a break of many years I have picked up aida and DMC threads again and have been cross stitching. I have finished quite a few projects so far this year and have some festive ones in the pipeline too.
I subscribed to a cross stitch magazine about twenty years ago and tore out charts that I fancied stitching. This was one of them that I found in a dusty folder.
It was a lovely project to do as it stitched up quite quickly and I did a couple of motifs at a time. The navy frame was re-used and I.m not quite sure I like it but will pop it on the kitchen dresser for now and live with it for a bit.
Thank you for popping by, it's much appreciated xx

Super project Sarah, I may have a folder like yours, dusty indeed. I have been trying to complete a triptych that Mum started many years ago but picking up after someone else is harder than it looks!

That's the sort of pattern that appeals to me too. It looks fab stitched up and framed.
Hi Sarah
A great finished design .. .. and I personally love the navy frame too!
It has been a long time since I last did cross stitch. When we moved home I brought with me a kit that I started many, many years ago of a Victorian dolls house. I wonder if it will ever get finished LOL!!!
Love and hugs

What a super non-card project, Sarah, and your stitching is so even and neat! I love how you framed the piece, and I bet it looks lovely on your dresser.

A lovely little sampler Sarah! Someone told me years ago to always stitch your name or initials and the year somewhere, just really personalises it and a nice way to record when it was made. I always loved stitching, don't have the eyes for it any more.
