The use it up campaign continues with one of many surplus photo frames used to mount a little cross stitch.

Once the chosen phrase is charted out to get the letters centred I can work out the size of fabric required and then choose a frame big enough so I can add cross stitch decoration.

Essential tools:

Friction heat erasable pens help me centre the lettering and position the stitching.

Graph paper to write out the wording and get the spacing right.

Embroidery frame to keep the fabric straight.
