Exchange with Becky

The Halloween exchange I stitched for Becky has arrived! I decided to make a cube finish as I've never done one, it turned out all right. That bow I made rocks! Also my first. (I'm now trying to think of more things that need bows...) I think I'd rather have done a half-width cube but it looks okay. Please visit Becky's blog for nicer photos...and I forgot to photo the back of the cube! I really enjoyed stitching for Becky.

Design ~ Hip Hop Black Cat
Designer ~ Sam Sarah
Fabric ~ 32 count Belfast, tea dyed by me

    I *love* the Hip Hop Black Cat pattern...I bought it for my own stash a week ago, and am waiting for the button pack to arrive. The cube finish looks great...well done!
