Welcome Friend Stitchery

This morning I found another WISP - it is a stitchery called Welcome Friend from a book called Old-Timey Embroideries. All the patterns come with iron-on transfers - a great time-saver! This one was stitched on sandcastle fabric.



To finish this project I stitched on some borders, backed it with some iron-on batting and inserted it in a ready made frame. The frame came from Chickenfeed - a $2 discounty type shop we have here in Tasmania. They have lots of junk but if you look at the right time you can find some okay stuff. Happy stitching

    It looks great. I have never used iron-on batting - is it easy?

    Looks like you are getting several WISPs out of the way. I need to do that too.
