I love to see cross stitched birds and I love to stitch them myself. And of course I love to watch the birds in our garden :)<br />The finishing of both pincushions is fantastic.<br /><br /><a href="https://khao-football.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">ลาลีกา</a>Sok Sarethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373712078360375074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492321594826346563.post-41818978905747909082017-06-07T21:20:32.006-04:002017-06-07T21:20:32.006-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352862154860070329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492321594826346563.post-30035785862871297862017-06-04T20:17:39.116-04:002017-06-04T20:17:39.116-04:00Thanks Cathie for stopping by.

I was lucky to find those buttons after the wool was gone.

I have never framed any of my cross-stitch myself, but the current cost of having even something small framed is making me reconsider. I will have to remember to measure twice and cut once. I hope you find a smaller frame. That piece is quite pretty.CathieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466163934848609107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492321594826346563.post-47416347563563060492017-06-03T20:46:46.098-04:002017-06-03T20:46:46.098-04:00Hi Jo!

I really like the purple patchwork pillow, I'm quite a fan of purple!<br />For the frame you could get a mount and attach the stitching to the back of the mount using doublesided tape.

Yes I sewed the three little patchwork fabric pieces together with the sewing machine and then I just did regular cross stitches at the seams before I sewed the back on.<br />Did you read Robin suggestion for adding fabric to the stitch to give you a bigger piece to frame?
