Friday Finish - Strawberry Thief

I finished the stitching recently, but wasn't sure about the finishing.  The kit came with a wooden hoop the size of the stitched circle, but not the directions on how to do it.  I saw on the internet how someone finished  a piece by cutting the fabric a little bigger than the hoop, then stitching the extra bit of fabric to a circle of felt.  It wasn't as difficult as it looked. It's not perfect, but I think it is okay.

This is so very beautiful. One of my all-time favorites. Well done, my friend. Well done.

That's a nifty way to deal with the back of the hoop-frame.
As for the front - well, I can only say IT's BEAUTIFUL. William Morris must be happy in his heaven.

I do love this design. Great finish and you have made a good job of the back as it is not the easiest! xx

Looks great! I tried this technique recently, and I think I'll use it again soon.
