I've stitched it 1 over 2 on 40ct Flax Belfast Linen with Babbling Brook Belle Soie Silk. The design has a border which I have left off so that the finished mattress pincushion wouldn't turn out too big and also because I was stitching a little bit of a border around the edge too. I didn't have any ribbon/trim in my stash that I thought went well enough to use for attaching the hoop to the floss tag, so I decided I would make my own, finishing the edges with Nun's Stitch. I was really pleased with how it turned out.
I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Earlier today Colin and I video Skyped, which we do most days when he's away. My brother also Skyped this afternoon, which was a lovely surprise, so I've had a little company, so to speak!.
Thank you for popping by and commenting on my stitching, as always I really do appreciate it and enjoy reading each and every one of them! :o)

Such beautiful projects Carol and so neatly finished how I wish my work could look like that. The floss tag is so cute and such a good idea to make your own attachment ribbon.
