Finished My Heart Tonight


I had some time to sit down and work on my heart today. While the cross-stitching is completed I am not sure how I am going to finish my project...frame it, make it into a pillow or something else. Any thoughts?


This was a freebie design that I found on the web thanks to fellow stitchers at http://www.123stitch.com/ That is the absolute best cross-stitch site on the internet. If you order from them they fill the order so quick. And the site has a wonderful message board.


I stitched this on 28 count (over two) Twilight Blue Jobelan. I began stitching this on April 8, 2009 and finished April 28, 2009. It is one of those pieces that looks like it took a lot of time but it was a quick stitch.


I was so eager to post my finish that I didn't iron it first so overlook the wrinkles and creases!

  1. Looks great Lori! If I take pics of my xs before it's washed and ironed it looks like a dogs dinner ;-)

  2. That is so pretty...it would make a lovely
    picture or a darling pillow or even the
    centerpiece of a table runner...(but not one
    that could come in contact with any spills.)
    Have you been stitching since 1985 when you
    were married? One of my friends made me a
    beautiful gift back in 1981 for my marriage.
    Even though the marriage did not work out, I
    saved her gift...she put so much love and
    hard work in to it...Great job as always!
