The Girl that Stitches

A Guest Stitcher! My neighbour Rob has recently retired and decided to take up cross stitching!   I've been helping him learn how to stitch over the past couple of months.  He is stitching the R.A.E.M.E Badge, which is an image close to his heart from his days spent in the Army. R.A.E.M.E Badge: Rob's Stitching Progress:  Stitched on 14 count Aida (full cross on the main image and tent stitch on the background): Rob's PVC Floor Stand Project After working with a hoop for several months, Rob has now switched to a Q-Snap frame and decided he would also like a floor stand.  So we made a floor stand out of pvc piping based on this tabletop stand (obviously with longer legs than the design specifies).  After assembling the stand it was spray painted to achieve a copper finish.
