Checkers Anyone?

Check this out! One of my stitching buds, Chris...who doesn't have a blog, made this and I thought it was just too cute. I had to have one.


Isn't that just adorable! It measures 1" x 1". It is stitching on 40ct. silk with DMC and is a freebie pattern from Kreinik. You can get it here. There is also a backgammon board however, I don't even know how to play backgammon so I wasn't interested in that. Of course, Chris, had stitched both.

I went to Joann's to find something that I could put this in to finish it off. This is what I came up with.


I am very pleased with how it turned out. I have to admit, I really had fun stitching this. I had only stitched on 40ct. silk once before, many years ago at a Spirit of Cross Stitch Festival. I think I might have to do it again!

Have a great day!
