Cross-Stitch Show-Off

[annuin]

The mail was nice and fast, and vgnwtch and darkvervain received the package today.

And so, pictures!

Sadly, the pictures I took don't do the piece justice, and I didn't really check how the colour turned out before I put the piece in the mail, but there's an example picture I'm including from the designer's website to give a more accurate idea.



The design is by Little House Needleworks, and is called, no surprises, The Bookshelf. It is stitched on 28 count Light Mocha Cashel linen with DMC floss. There is some metallic gold in the spines of the books, which is a little hard to make out.

Hahaha, I love your icon :D

And you're both very welcome. As avid readers, especially vgnwtch, I couldn't think of anything more appropriate :) And something handmade is always a nice gift I think.

Lovely stitching. And I adore the soft, natural tones. Good choice.

Thank you :)

I'm glad with how it turned out, and had a few pangs when mailing it off, lol. That said, I have another piece of the same colour linen just so I can stitch it again some day for myself :D
