A Finish: Lovebirds!

Hello Everyone!
 
Here's the Finish I promised you in the last post! It is called Lovebird Pair and is designed by Jenni Mills and the chart was published in The World of Cross Stitching (issue 199). I stitched it as a 50th birthday present for my very good friend's husband:)
 
This is a picture I took before I removed the stitched guide-lines and before I added...
 
 
...my friends' names and the Swedish words for 'Forever', and and washed, ironed and framed it:


I really enjoyed stitching this motive with all its bright colours, and the black backstitching really made the design stand out:)
 
My friends seemed really happy with the picture and made plans to hang it in their living room:))
 
Happy Stitching!
 
Annie
