Finishing an old piece

Post by agi »

I stitched this thing for my daughter about one and a half years ago, then couldn't finish it, and forgot all about it. Now I found a matching cushion and finished it. Used the two sided iron-on fusing (or whatever you call it) and added the buttons to secure the corners.
My daughter loved it.

What a lovely way to finish it! The colours are pretty and having the buttons to secure is a great way to show the design out.
