Yes, I know, that hoop is not plastic, it's felt. I didn't like this design in the hoop, not sure why. Rooting through my drawers (of the chest-of-variety, I don't keep craft supplies in my (UK) pants) I found this felt frame that must have been free with a magazine.
Mr Penguin looks quite happy to be in it. I did a running stitch round the circle and then blanket stitched round the edge. It took forever. Well, about an hour.
I wasn't watching my stitches on the back, but I think they blend in well enough.
Sick of Christmas decorations yet? Tough...

He's lovely, the felt frame sets him off perfectly
That little guy is adorable.
I absolutely love it!! And I also love to do beaded cross stitch. I've done quite a few kits over the years...I believe they are all Mill Hill kits too. It's my absolute fave form of needlework.
Your little fella looks pretty content in the nice felt frame. I enjoy looking at your fun decorations.
Adorable ! Et très bien fait !
Bonne semaine !

Cute. I haven't seen such technique yet. The frame fit perfectly.
He's so cute and I really like the frame you made for him.
What a great idea for a frame, definitely a lot more attractive than the plastic ones
you have made a lovely penguin and like the felt surround too, much nicer than plastic! Your first attempt at beading you are a natural
Super cute! That is the perfect frame!
(And I did have a bit of a chuckle about keeping craft supplies in your drawers hehehe)
I'm not sure we want to know what you keep in your drawers!!
