Pincushion Exchange

Another March secret stitching project is the pincushion exchange for Eva . My choice design by Per Segno Per Filo . I modified the design a bit to make way for a fabric button and both our initials, also slim down its size. Stitched with DMC 57 variegated, a last minute choice over DMC 115 or 75. I am happy with how this turned out. Added are two elastic band on the back which I wasn't too sure if I should initially, but i did anyway. Hope Eva will find it handy to hold flosses or a scissor maybe. The backing fabric in cotton is one of the few pieces I bought from my last trip to Hadyai, Thailand.
Am happy to have noted that this had finally arrived at its destination.

Happy Monday everyone and thanks a lot for visiting and leaving me your comments.
