Thank you Rachel for hosting another opportunity for us to share our finishes. Pop over to Rachel's blog Ten Hour Stitcher to find the links to everyone's FFO posts.
I have a very special finish to share this month, our daughter and son-in-law have moved into their first house. When then moved into their apartment I stitched two coasters (link to my previous post) so it seemed appropriate to stitch two more.
I decided not to do cross stitch but embroidery. I drew the design on squared paper and used it as a guide although embroidery does not really follow straight lines. I was so pleased with how they turned out and the new home owners liked them.
I also finished a bookmark for my friend who needed a bit of a hug. My stitchy friend Julie gifted me the bookmark chart, it was a kit she had stitched with lots of threads unused so she passed it on. I had some aida band in my stash and just added a row on the left to make it fit.
