Sunflower Cross stitch

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 :heart_eyes:

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! :rofl:

I really like your piece…will you be framing it or using it for another projects?

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 :smiley:

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? :blush:
