Last cross stitch project to finish was an engagement present for my nephew who proposed on Christmas morning. Managed to get a card made and to them on Christmas afternoon but their present is very late indeed. As they already have a lovely home and pretty much everything they need I wasn't going to get anything but then, whilst browsing for something else, I came across an AAN design that just seemed so right for an engagement present.
Two false starts as I first miscalculated the size of the fabric I needed - maths never was my strong point - and then after getting a fair bit of the design stitched on the right size evenweave I came across a fault in the fabric and had to start for a third time. Finally got it finished and handed over last week!
Design is called Cuore in Fiore and I loved the plain white colour on beige linen.
This was the tag I made to go on the present once wrapped.
Got four nephews - all brothers - so hope to eventually stitch one for each of these as they all get engaged ... just hope they don't do so all at once or I will be a very busy auntie!
