I’m linking up with Alycia at Finished or Not Finished Friday.
This counted cross stitch project has been ongoing, set aside, picked up again, stitched on, put away, and so on and sew on for years! Now it is done.
It’s laundered, pressed and mounted in a red lacquer tray frame. It will hang on the dining area wall during the Christmas holidays, 2022. For now it is packed away with other Christmas decor.
It has a glass in the frame to protect the stitchery, but I won’t use it as a tray. The tray frame was purchased from Sudbury House, when I started the stitching in 2001. It was recommended for the stitching by the magazine the cross stitch chart was published in. They still sell tray frames, but not this style. I am very pleased with the finished product! It took Mr Busy and me, 4 tries to get it centered, square and straight on the backing board. He even go out his micrometer, to measure from the frame inside edge to the red X’s surrounding Santa Baker! Love language comes in lots of different forms! Not always chocolates and roses!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy
Oh! So cute! Worth the wait.
