I can finally share my finished cross stitch that's taken me over 2 years to complete 🤣. This was for my now 16yo, Evan who some of you may have met.
Top tip... don't use either metallic thread or black Aida cloth!!
Pattern is from Melbourne designer Elise at Spruce Cross Stitch - check out her other awesome designs!
For easy framing I bought an A4 frame and covered the back with Jac Paper (double sided sticker paper) and pulled the backing just part way down at the top. I then laid the work over it and slowly removed the paper backing as I pressed down the cross stitch. Then I just trimmed the edges and put the frame back together.
