February monthly challenge
This is the pattern voted for in the February monthly challenge. It's Valentine Heart by Dragonfly Stitches, it was a freebie but is no longer available. I decided I liked this thread which is Dragon floss and called Kisses with Stitches by Polstitches. With this thread I had to stitch on black for best effect, and I could only find a piece of 22ct hardanger, so I used that and stitched over 2. As you can see I decide on a cushion finish. The cushion is aprox. 14" x 9". Apologies for the blurred photo. I'll try to do better next time.

Oh MY!!! That is a beauty! Perfectly executed! :)
Where IS that freebie on the page...I go there but I can't find it?!
Never mind...I read better and see it's not longer available...too bad because I want to copy your pillow! LOL!
I started this design as soon as it was put up on the Yahoo page, but got sidetracked. I sure hope I remembered to save a copy! LOL!
Yours looks great and I just love how you've finished it off!
The Dragon Floss just pops on the black fabby, a great finish Chris
That thread looks stunning on that colour background - what a gorgeous pillow finish :)
Oooh that is gorgeous Chris! Very pretty thread and I love how you've finished it.
