Anchor Stitch Kit- Share your Ideas and Designs

SLV · Jan 19, 2011

Hi friends,
I know its now new art form, just sharing my completed projects.
Comments and compliments always welcome

I would appreciate your ideas for helping me with the finishing. As in, I have framed one of them, but not willing to do the same again. Anybody here who has made these into cushion covers or any other form other than framing and hanging it on the wall.

Do share you anchor stitch kit designs, projects and ideas.

Looking forward for pictures of your designs.
Thanks in advance

Nice work,
I have made cushions with cross stitch embroidery not with quick stich, because of the method of stitching it would not be suitable as the threads will pull between the gaps. also cushions get very dirty if you have kids around.

Slv such beautifully finished works both of them are so well stitched and eye catching and perfect--fantastic works--framing is the only option as far I know otherwise it will get dirty and you cannot wash them--maybe dry clean them ---you can laminate it too--and put it under glass tables--or put it in transparent covers--as using them on cushions and pillows is not a good idea--of course put it under glass table tops:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown

Thank you Lakshmi for your first and appreciative reply.
Black outline as in for the whole picture?
The shoe design has a black outline and infact it has a frame like pattern ...the orange border is supposed to give a look of frame.
Anyways i'll keep in mind your suggestion and try for the next one.
Thanks once again

I understand that the threads may pull out and also that maintenance issues. Was just looking for any ideas, if any of you ladies had tried and tested. Thank you for your response.

Thank you Malliga...you always stop by to appreciate my work. That's a huge boost. Thanks a ton :bowdown. Glass table top.......umm.......nice idea.

I understand the issues with maintenance of these art work. My only concern is, how many frames would you accommodate on your walls!!! Of course i have gifted away many of my art works, but sometimes you like the designs and the outcome so much that you may wish to keep them, and then...tough job to find place and that's when you need ideas.
Thank you for stopping by Ladies :cheers

These are two i made into cushions. not very practical but one was a gift the other was an order.

Why not rotate them according to seasons it can be dificult to give hand made stuff away because of the effort put into creating it. I put only a few out at a time keeping the rest away.
