“Rondo” – finished off
Posted by: claire93 on: February 22, 2012
A few hours with my sewing machine (in keeping with my half term resolutions) and I have finished off one of my latest cross stitch pieces. “Rondo” (Whispered by the Wind) even when I began stitching this design, I knew how it would be finished off, quite simply because of it’s perfect square shape : a cushion cover. That’s why I didn’t use Threadworx threads, but went for DMC variations because I knew I needed to use a thread that could be washed.
My sister (who won’t be visiting my blog so I can tell you without worrying about spoiling the surprise) turned 50 this month and I was hoping to have this ready to send in time for her birthday but I didn’t so it will arrive a few days late. I hope she likes it ^^

It is absolutely gorgeous. I spotted a secondary pattern of four large hearts (not sure if it was intended)! Your sister will be delighted to receive it

I’ve been squinting and going cross-eyed, but nope I can’t see any hearts in there

He-he! Well, I can see them in the more distant picture best. The points of the hearts point to the corners of the square and the rounded parts of the hearts are formed by the petals of the flowers. Hope you can see them now

I have to say I am rather pleased with the way it turned out. Might even stitch this again, in a different colour, and make a cushion cover for myself
