Cross stitch

I finally finished Sally's Christmas present!



It's a cross-stitched trivet based on the pattern from some of the Williamsburg Pottery mugs. (She collects Williamsburg pottery.) I started a couple days before Christmas and worked on it for a few hours every few days since.

Here's the pattern:



Blow it up to 800x in MS Paint or your favorite drawing program, turn on the grid, hit Print Screen, paste, crop, print, viola.



Front


Back. The backing is a 1940s feed sack we inherited from my great-grandmother. In between are two layers of quilt batting and two layers of thick canvas.


No flash, with my signature and ugly finishing stitches at the bottom.
