Summer break is officially here and it's time to get back to what's really important; cross-stitching. Here is my recent Shovel Knight project:

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this hobby is matching the project to the frame. My wife found this pair for cheap and the project inspiration was all too obvious:

Thanks to johloh and their Duck Hunt pattern found here.

Those patterns and the frame match SO well!

The Duck Hunt ones are awesome with those frames!

Nice!!

Awesome Duck Hunt frames and stitches. I love picking up unusual frames from charity shops, always have more character to them

Many thanks to blackmageheart for the inspiration (and the patterns!).

Very cool! I want to try plastic canvas one of these days.
