Hello, friends especially needleworkers needleworkmonday@needleworkmonday!

Today i would like to share how i made this birthday sampler for my best friend's mother, when i was a toddler, usually she made me birthday cakes so now i would like to give her a special birthday gift. To make it would be quite easy, what i needed:

  • photo frame 4 inch size
  • ruler
  • pencil
  • cross stitch fabric
  • embroidery floss (green, soft green, peach pink, pink, soft pink)
  • embroidery needle
  • scissors

How to make it:
First i measure the fabric so it would be in the same size as the frame. Then i put a plus sign in the center at the back of the cross stitch fabric. I had to find the center cause i would like to cross stitch from the center.

Then i started to do the cross stitch. I started by doing the half stitch for the Birthday word with the pink peach floss. Use 2 strains for all the stitch here.

After that complete the half stitch until it became cross stitch. Continue to the happy word. Then make the line below with the soft pink floss.

Use pink and soft floss to make the ornaments below. For the bottom part, use the green and pink peach floss. Continue to the left. The ornament is easy and simple cause actually it had the triangle shapes and a row of diamonds among the two lines of triangles.
