FFO: Eat Sleep Craft Repeat


Pattern: Eat Sleep Craft Repeat
Designer: Stitchrovia / Emma Congdon

Fabric: 32 ct Antique White Belfast linen
Floss: called for DMC
Hoop: 10" wooden from one of the big box stores

Finished on February 20, 2019. Framed on December 25, 2019.

My second-ever FFO, this time a Christmas present for my mom! It was interesting to finish in a hoop after having just tried framing. I think the process would've done a bit smoother if the hoop hadn't been so big. I really would have liked to put this in a 9" hoop, but the only one I had was broken, and I really wanted to gift it on Christmas Day. 

Here's a link to the video I used to learn how to finish things in a hoop. I got the cardstock from my mom's stash, and I really enjoyed the blanket stitching. I think next time I will just glue the craft paper on the back instead, especially on a large circumference.
