This piece of hand worked cross stitch has been waiting for a circular frame for about 5 years. (If only I knew a wood turner ;) )
I appliqued with a rope edging it to this furnishing fabric and made a cushion cover. (It will look better when I find a fatter cushion pad.)

Beautiful picturesque handwork. This is the kind of garden walk I know I would love to take many times a day.

The rope edging sets this off very nicely. Beautiful stitching! :)

Lovely lovely .. so inviting a scene.. Your rope edge really works well..
If you get tired of it on the cushion you could use an emb hoop for the frame.. Now tell everyone I said do not place their head on that lovely cushion. ;-)

I've already found some more filling and plumped it up a bit!

too pretty to sit upon, I think. However, I guess it's a better solution than sitting about in your sewing box isn't it.

At least it will be on display.

Looks great Sue. Was wondering if you have "men's sheds" in England. We have them here in Australia - basically retired men who meet up and do wood turning, etc. Maybe one of them could turn you a ring?? Lyn

Beautiful cross stitch and I love the rope border. Please keep this out of the sun so the colors will remain nice and bright!

I love the embroidery, such a lovely garden scene, and like the rope edging.

It is the first time I've tried the rope and I love it!
