Here’s my finished embroidery. I’m so pleased with it.
But! In the spirit of honesty, have a look at the rather scrappy back… I’m a bit lazy with tying off and restarting, and actually don’t have the first idea how to do that when it’s just individual french knots. So I just trail threads all round the back!
I also made my sister a skirt for her birthday yesterday and was pleased to finish it in an afternoon in between football matches! I’ll share photos once I’ve given it to her next weekend.

Well done! It’s brilliant and really cute. And no one looks at the back so don’t worry about that!

Thank you. That’s what I figure with the back, but I’m sure if you’re sewing properly the back is meant to be neat as well?

That is so pretty! I remember anytime I did crosstitch or embroidery the back always looked the same as yours….I did not know and still don’t know any different.

Thank you. There are times the back starts off looking quite nice (even when I’ve done some sewing!) but it always goes rather messy. But, As they say, no one looks at the back anyway!

I think your back is probably as nice as can be expected…how could one even tie off a single French knot???? (I’m now wondering how I never thought of that before…)

Lol! I know, right? There is just nothing to hook the thread under behind a single French knot!

Its beautiful. The back is not that untidy. You could always cover it.

I can see why you fell for this, you have done a good job, it’s very pretty, and who will see the back.

Thank you so much. Indeed… Once it’s hanging on a wall the back won’t be visible!

It is super duper pretty. I like how the back looks – it is like a behind the scenes as to how it was made and shows all the work that went into it 🙂
