My first mill hill kit
This is my small rotation. I started something new this week as last month I finished Mr. Monster.
Can you believe this is my first mill hill kit? Although I have seen many I have liked, never did I like one enough to pay the price for one. When I saw this owl however...Well I had to have it.
I stitch in a frame that holds my snaps that hubby made for me. Perforated paer however doesn't fit in a snap, so I stitched this in hand. I think that is the reason why I like how it looks though I did not really enjoy the stitching. I hate stitching I hand. So my goal for next month is to find a way fit make this work in a frame.mi have an idea. Not sure though. I'll still finish this as I love the owl. If I can't find a way to make this work in a frame, this will be my only mill hill kit.
Anyone else not like mill hill kits as they don't like perforated paper?

I stitch my Mill Hill on fabric and sew them into hanging pillows. I don't care for perforated paper at all. the small ornament Mill Hill i stitch on plastic canvas.however, they could be stitched on fabric and sewn into an ornament, too. Pretty stitching.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, thanks so much
DeleteIt looks great already! I too wouldn't want to stitch by hand... I'm lost without a hoop :D
ReplyDeleteI use snaps but me too
DeleteWhat a pretty design Angie. I have always stitched in hand without a problem.

Doesn't that cramp your hand?
DeleteIt looks fantastic! And I know how you feel about stitching in hand. I hope you find a solution and share it with the rest of us if you do. :)
ReplyDeleteNext time I will just stitch it on fabric.
DeletePretty design :-D I'd just stitch it on fabric instead of paper if it was a worry.
