Cross stitch - red border

I've had this piece of cross stitch as a UFO (unfinished object), tucked away, for quite sometime now.


I love the simplicity of the red and white.


I love single coloured embroidery; it can be so striking.


This is a such simple design really, but the repetition of the design really makes it look lovely. I really must finish it soon.

The red really stands out against the white. Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished...
