I have finally finished stitching this Tatty Teddy project for my little one's room.
I got so upset when I washed it because the pen I used for Gridding stained my project. Luckily, I found the best way to remove the yellow marks, one part vinegar and 3 parts hot water, and leave soak for an hour. I'm so happy that i didn't have to re-stitch it.
Now I have to frame it, but I was wondering if I should turn it into a small pillow for Kaylee's cot. Does anyone have any thoughts?

That is so sweet!!!! I am so glad that you were able to get the gridding marks out. I think I would probably frame it so that it has a better chance of lasting forever than a pillow might have. I do agree that it would be a perfect little pillow though.

So glad you were able to remove the stain successfully. Congratulations on a great finish to this cutie. I agree about framing it although a pillow would be lovely too but could/would get messy.

I love this cross stitch! I am currently working on a Tatty Teddy design myself. I think you should frame the cross stitch. That way, it would stay clean and would last much longer. If it were a pillow I think it would be much more susceptible to stains, dust, and dirt. I really like the way this design turned out. You did a wonderful job stitching it!
