Forever Friends Bow Picture

This must be one of my oldest UFOs! It's well over 10 years old. I've been tidying up recently and came across it in a basket. All I needed to do was to sew the bow onto the top of the embroidery hoop (= the frame), and to trim the fabric on the back and stick the edges down to secure. I think this was the first thing I ever cross stitched, and was done in Anchor threads, from a project in a magazine - Woman or Woman's Own?

Oh, and the flowery fabric is the one I used for the background in the Flower Star table topper!

Flower Star Table Topper - Step 3

And that's Step 3 done. I think I'm going to buy a new fabric to use for the background.
