I stitched BBD's Morning Star. I used 40ct white linen and the CC floss called for in the design. I also finished it according to the directions using a paper mache "spice box" which I was able to find online at Sunshine Discount Crafts . I was VERY pleased not only with their prices but by how fast I received my order. Ok so they are only about a 45 minute drive from my house but they do not have an outlet store or anything. I ordered it and the very next day it was at my door! In the BBD leaflet they mentioned getting this box at Hobby Lobby but unfortunately they no longer carry it. So I was thrilled to find it at SDC.
This was the very first time I stitched on 40ct anything and I was a bit hesitant at first. After stitching on it though I think I prefer 40ct over any other count! I love the look of it.
This was definitely one of those pieces that were hard to give away but I did order 2 of those boxes so I am definitely going to stitch and make another for myself!
I was happy to hear that Lisa loved it. Funny thing was she said she was just admiring this very design a day or so before she received it! So I chose well!
I am so glad you loved it my friend as I really enjoyed making it for you!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I truly appreciate your visits and comments.

It looks great g/f! Job well done!!! I know just what you mean about having a hard time giving it away. I've had a few of those myself this year. LOL!
No wonder Lisa was thrilled with her gift - it's lovely!
You like stitching on 40ct?! I do agree that stitching looks nicer on it, but goodness me, it drives me mad - I find it so difficult!
I am soo proud to own this gorgeous box finish Lisa. I love it to bits!!
