This is one of my favorite cross stitches. It took me a while to finish him cause I put him away to do something else. I get bored easily thus many, many, many WIP!!!He is done on linen an aqua with DMC threads, when they were still good, didn't run or fray and a dark green suede mat. I framed it in a brown frame and this was one of the first fillets I ever made. I didn't take the photo far enough away so you can appreciate the frame, just the fillet.
I have done many now but this must have been the second. The first was done on a cat ~ go figure! I love cats! A fillet is a small frame like piece you put under a mat or around the inside lip of the frame to enhance the picture. It was great fun stitching and framing him.

Love the fillets added to frames. It really adds to the overall look! I have one on my wedding sampler I stitched for myself.
ReplyDeleteCould you share the chart name and designer? I love Father Christmas' and would love to stitch this piece :o)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is just beautiful Lenna - as is all of your work - I have added your lovely blog to my Google Reader! Thanks for visiting my blog - the pattern for the Margaret Sherry cats came with the RR that I was stitching, but they’re hard to get here without buying the full kit :o( Sometimes they do appear in our magazines though :o)
