Cardinal Joy - Complete!

Post by starshine123102 »

Well, I'm adding another one onto the pile. It's just a little one though. It's going to be a Christmas gift for my fiancée's grandmother who loves cardinals. It's also a cover-up for his Christmas gift ;)

Here's what I've gotten so far. I've only done a few hours of it while on the plane ride to-from Disney.

Haven't posted any updates in a while but I'm almost done with with it. There is a ton of backstitching for such a small design but I enjoy backstitching thankfully. Just have the backstitching, letters and border to finish up!

Looking good! It's a good thing you like back stitching because it does look like a lot!
