My blogging friend Kate sent me a lovely surprise package recently. She was having a clear out of a cupboard and came across some cross stitch packs she had bought but never opened and as she knows I love cross stitch she kindly sent them to me.
This one was a Hobbycraft pack. It came with a larger frame and the material included in the pack was too small for the frame. I cut a larger piece but once I had sewn it I thought the frame provided was too big so ended up cutting the material down a bit and using a smaller frame.
I guessed Kate bought it as she intended sewing it for herself so I sewed it and sent it to her.

A beautiful realistic thistle,I bet Kate loved it
This is so lovely
A lovely present for Kate - the thistle is so pretty. I usually swap fabric that has come with kits as I find it's often got deep creases where it's been folded into the pack and I can never iron them out!
