Well, summer may be winding down but it was time for me to fully finish a cross stitch project I completed last September. It's the Sweet Summer pattern by Cherry Hill Stitchery.
The easy part of the process was picking a wall decor sign from my supply collection to use as the display piece, and painting it white. However, it took me many days to decide on the materials and layout for this finish. I auditioned several different fabric options for the backdrop and didn't like any at all so I thought well let me look through my collection of scrapbook paper. Well that was it! I found two pieces of coordinating paper by My Mind's Eye that complimented the colors in the stitched piece! I cut the green polka dot paper for the bottom layer and the coral colored polka dot for the top paper layer. After those were adhered to the sign base, I was then able to complete a final layout with added embellishments to display this project! Following are the details of the supplies used.
Cross stitch fabric: 14 ct. Beautiful Beige Aida cloth
Happy finishing!
