Am I right to assume “FO” is “Finished object”?
Slow going, but I’ve had a busy week. Had a wild Friday night with the last of the back stitching.
Now to figure out what to do with it… Frames can be expensive. 😣 While I think on it, on to the next one that’s been sitting for a few months ready to go!
Happy Friday, everyone.
I love these foxes! Something very Beatrix Potter about them.
… Is that a Harry Potter reference? 😅 I’m so new back in to the cross stitch scene, and I live under a rock.
Nope! I’ve never read/seen Harry Potter (I, too, live under a rock). Beatrix Potter is the English author from the late 1800s who wrote The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, among others. When I was a kid I had a set of her books, and her illustrations (which she herself painted in watercolors) had the whimsical quality that your cross-stitch has. 🦊🧡
In this case, FO seems to be Fox Object! And a very cute one, at that.
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that, that’s great. Thank you!
Can I get the pattern for my wife? Nevermind I found it online
You gonna share?
Here https://www.riolis.com/catalog/details_4021.html Or you can Google the name of it to find other sellers
I got it from a seller on Etsy, but direct from the source is good. Thanks for finding it and sharing!
That turned out great! I sometimes get inexpensive frames at the craft store when I don’t need something too fancy, they usually run around $10-12 USD!
Thank you! No Walmart here in Australia, but Kmart and Target are the go. I’ll take a look, thanks for the suggestion. 😊
Damn, those are beautiful! Great job!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this one.
The colours look so good!
Thank you!
The expression is perfect! I always mess up the face. Was this a pattern?
I vote frame! Go to Walmart and get a frame and mat it yourself. :)
Thank you! I enjoy back stitching, so I take my time with it and try to get all of the lines to be straight and match up. It was a kit I got off of a seller on Etsy. Someone above posted the link to the direct manufacturer, but there are lots of resellers online.
Two votes for frame. Thank you!
