An Old Cross Stitch Project

A loooong time ago - I did a cross stitch of various patchwork blocks.
I am sure many of you will recognise it - it was the "flavor of the month" at the time and popular with bloggers.

All the posts showing pictures are dated 2014 - with no picture of the finished work.  The link to the pattern is no longer valid - it looks like it came from "littlemissshabby" or Coriander Quilts.
Never mind now - it was all stitched.
I saw it while I was looking through a drawer (at other things) and there just happened to be some stripey fabric within eyeshot that looked a pretty good match.

So, I decided to finish it off.


Just for reference, I used DMCs in the following colours:
208    209    210    211    322    334    743    744    745    911    912    913    954    961    962   963    3716    3755    3841    3860    3861

The striped fabric matches perfectly. Good finish. I love mitred corners with stripes

Great fabric to finish the long awaited cross stitch. Looks lovely.
I remember stitching that Sampler Cross Stitch and have mine framed and hanging in the Cave.

Yes, indeed that stripe is perfect. Like the stitched part was just waiting for it.
