I decided to finish off The Red Thread as a Draft Dodger.
Of course it didn't go exactly as planned, but here it is!

Ready, willing and able to stand up against any drafts that try to come in under my porch door!
If I had made one from scratch, I might have a different fabric for the backing, but I didn't want to cut the linen, leaving my options open for framing it later if I liked.
I also have a picture of it sitting on my mantle.
The project was not without it's problems! It evolved and took on a life of it's own after a while.
I am still getting used it it like this. Of course, if I decide I don't like it this way, I can always take it apart and frame it.
I put together a little tutorial on making a draft dodger below.

What an excellent idea and so much more useful than just framing. It would also make a great needleroll - I mean the sort you really can wrap your stitching round for safe keeping.
What a beautiful piece of work and a stunning finish.
Unique finish! It turned out lovely...and your tutorial is excellent also! Congratulations!

Thanks for the comment you left on my blog, which brought me to your wonderful stitching!
