I framed this one with no glass and with quilt batting between the fabric and the foam board. I really like how it turned out.

You finished this in record time, and it looks fantastic. :D I like the way the quilt batting makes it pop. And all that backstitching effort really becomes clear in the gif!

It really does. There's pretty cross stitch and when the backstitch comes in it's like BAM! detail. :D

I would love to have this pattern. I haven't been able to find it at Hobby Lobby or online.

If you google Elsa Williams Summer Music there's a handful of websites that sell it if you can't find it in person.

@funkymonkey I did find the kit. I wish they had the DMC colors listed since I tend to use more string than they give and this line of kits are discontinued. I guess I'll just eyeball it and see if there are any close colors. Didn't cost me a lot of money surprisingly.
