Fa-La-La Mingos!

Fiber & Textile Completed Projects
1

I’ve had this pattern for a while but finally had the time to do it. I had no idea I would be doing so much cross - stitch since I prefer a freer style of stitching, but hey…it’s not pie…I can do both!

The pattern is actually called Fa-la-la mingo. I had to leave the words off and choose a simpler one to fit the piece into a Dollar Tree wooden frame. I was going to use glitter on the frame, but it seemed like overkill.

I mounted the finished piece over two pieces of batting and cardboard and then covered the back with another larger piece of cardboard to adhere it to the frame with glue. It’s been fun trying to find a variety of ways to finish up all the stitched pieces.

Thanks!

I posted it on FB and one of my best friends wants to buy it from me to give to another friend. I’m going to exchange it for a lunch date, but now I have to finish the back nicer by Thursday!

Usually I’m all for supporting the makers decisions. But…

I think it could have handled the glitter. :laughing:
