Now What Do I Do With It?

Don’t you just love it when things don’t as you had hoped!

On the day on King Charles III Coronation, I decided to start a stitch to commemorate the day and chose to do the new emblem.

My plan had been to make it into a little mat, to go into the bottom of the now empty tin of shortbread that was also brought to celebrate the special day and fill the said tin with a couple other coronation smalls.

Well the stitching is finished, and I’m pleased that my little faux pas with my starting point didn’t result in it falling off the fabric on the right hand side, but unfortunately it finished up being too big to fit in the tin.  

It’s also too big for another tin I have, so now I have a dilemma as to how to finish it.

After that I decided to pull out ‘Oh Holy Night Nativity’ again, seeing as I’ve not touched it for a while.

This is where I left it

And this is where I am now.

You can now see just a little bit more of the angle and two shepherds.

 

Happy Stitching!

  2. You could back the linen with some vilene, then add lace around the edge to make a little mat. Please could you let me know about the corners of your stuffed pin cushions, you were going to drop me a line a few weeks ago, but then your operation got in the way I expect.

    1. Oh I'm sorry Sandra, I did reply but I think I must have got your email wrong. I've sent it again and hopefully you'll get it this time. Thank for the suggestion about the mat. Happy Stitching! Sue x
