I had some VW Camper cross stitches in stash that I have had for years, so decided to complete them at the start of the year.
I decided I maybe don’t hate cross stitch as much as I thought and probably took on too much with one of my first attempts (still in the stash somewhere)
This past weekend I finished a Sunflower, that had the pattern on the cloth, not sure if that made it easier or harder tbh. But, here it is:
I am now working on some toadstools

Thank you
The back is less pretty - haven’t worked out how to keep that tidy yet!

The backs of my pieces are super untidy, which is why I find ways to cover them up!
I really like your piece…will you be framing it or using it for another projects?

Same! A neat back is impressive, but overrated.

My original plan was to do a few and put them in a frame, but I need to do the others and then I’ll decide.
I’m slow, I’ve got a lot of thinking time

Does ANYONE have a tidy back side? Okay that sounds a bit scandalous…
Seriously, this turned out so pretty on the front and who’s even going to see the back?
