The world’s your oyster! Table settings Name tags and signs with subversive flairĪs an introvert, revealing my name to people in anyway, shape or form to people I don’t know and not know how my name will be used, is scary and daunting.

Three possible decorations options… CardsĬards can say as much or as little as you want them to. I’ve been working on my own cross stitch country themed quilt for many years and there are two awesome things about this – 1) it’s nearly finished! and 2) there are so many different options with quilt patterns, that as long as it turns out the way that I want it, that’s all that matters! Seasonal/special event decorations When I first came across them, I was starting out in cross stitch and didn’t really understand how awesome and beautiful they are, let alone how many designs are available!Ĭlip by BexBox Stitcher – published on 23 April 2018 Quilts I’m starting to develop a love obsession with biscornus. My logic is ‘who says I have to?’ or ‘just because they did it, doesn’t mean I have to!’ So the question is, how many variations, alternatives and options are there to framing? Alternatives to framing… Biscornus (aka fancy pin cushions) That said, I like being quirky and unconventional at times. I had the right measurements for my fabric, however, when I started stitching, I got my horizontal vs vertical around the wrong way and it wasn’t until I had stitched a significant amount of the project, that I had realised that I didn’t have enough fabric horizontally and had too much fabric vertically! Professionally framed fishing cats project The people who framed it had a big challenge on their hands, as I had done a major stitching faux-pas. However, the one project I have had professionally framed was done very well. Nine times out of ten I will frame my projects myself because I want to improve my framing skills and I’m impatient. Also, framing can be as low cost or expensive as you want it to be or can afford it to be. The flat-ish finish enables me to easily and conveniently display my awesomeness on walls, shelves and other flat spaces. Framing my finished cross stitch projects has been my go-to finish for many years.
