Finished Cross Stitch

It's done!

I've finally finished my cross stitch! I actually finished a few days ago, but now that the nights are drawing in, I have to wait for a day off to take some photos in natural light so it's not all with flash.

Here are some of the sections of the finished piece.

Just before I filled in the last center piece of the pale pink rose.

Mounting the cross stitch. I've got an Ikea frame to use, but the hole in the mount board is too big, and I can't get anymore board for that size. What I've decided to do is use either graph paper or dress makers pattern paper, like this as an inner mount o back the cross stitch on.

I think we'll probably hang it in the living room; that way everyone can see all my hard work 😜

Thanks for having a look, and hope you enjoy!
