Crafty Catz DT - Stitching

Morning all

 

Here's to another Friday! this weeks challenge at Crafty Catz is set by Christine and she wants to see Stitching (real or faux) on your projects this week. We are sponsored by the amazing team at Bugaboo, who are offering our lucky winner 7 images of their choice

 

So I figured with a theme like this it was about time I did a non card project and it fell perfectly to coincide with a project I'd been working on for a friend of mine who is a Priest



 

 

The pattern is by Lizzie Kate designs and should be available at most retailers who supply cross stitch patterns - it's certainly available all over the internet.

 

I tweaked the design to add the bottom boarder and carefully matched the thread colours to his chair (as seen on the photo). The cushion I made using a mottled wool and the back is fastened with toggles. I finished each corner with a mother of pearl button.

 

He loves it (thank goodness) and I've been asked to make another couple in due course for other Priests. They're going to have to wait a while though - my eyes are shot from stitching on linen in poor light!

 

So there you go, my project this week. Hope you like it and don't forget to swing by and look at the other fab projects on the blog. Until next time - happy crafting!
