This was my first-ever FFO! I stitched this project for my boyfriend's birthday, and finally got around to washing and framing it right before the holidays (#oops). I also just realized that I never made an FO post about this one, so back story: he and his friends love (are obsessed with) playing spades. I thought of him when I saw this pattern, and he confirmed he thought it was pretty awesome. It was meant to be a June birthday present, and while I finished the stitching weeks before that... I didn't even buy a frame until November. Double oops hahaha.

I used the matboard that came in the frame to wrap the stitching around. Nothing fancy here: I just taped the fabric into the position I wanted it in. I also think it's great when stitchers talk about adding information to the back of the piece, so I did that too! Now it hangs in its forever home, and I couldn't be happier! He also loves it :)
