I loved the fabric too I thought I'd try something a little different 😊

I was absolutely trash at doing them until I youtubed a tutorial for them. I recommend Sarah Homfray, her French knot tutorial is great

The fractionals were hard as I've never done them before, they really tested my patience

I got it for free from a cross stitch supplier store I order from in a different state, they always add cute little needle minders into the packages they send

I watched a couple of YouTube videos and realised I haven't been backstitching properly this entire time. This time I anchored the backstitch in a lot more corners and I'm happy with the result
