Pillow I made for a neighbor's birthday. The cross-stitch design is from Missi at Skeldalehouse. The design is for a large hoop, so I needed to do a little surgery on the sides to fit my 6" x 10" hoop......it stitched out very nicely...over 40,000 stitches.

How pretty. I would not have thought to reduce the sides to fit a 6x10 hoop. I hope you have sent a picture to Missie. She will be so pleased. Did you use lace to frame it on the pillow?

I have the same question! Beautiful!
Yes I am going to send pictures to Missi....with a link to this site so she can see all the nice comments on her design.
Yes I did use lace to frame the embroidery.....I tried many styles and widths of lace and this one seemed to work best.

I bet she was thrilled - looks lovely! How did you do this "surgery"? delete the stitches somehow or just cut them off? Very brave of you. It really looks wonderful.

I did it in my embroidery software "edit". Just deleted 2 or 3 rows of vertical x-stitches on the sides of the design and it did not change the appearance of the design. Only a very small amount of stitches had to be deleted to make the design fit my hoop.

Well, a nip here and a tuck there made no difference in this little beauty.

Yes it was only 2 or 3 rows of vertical X-stitches on the sides and since the design is an oval it really did not make any difference in the overall appearance of the design.
