Double whammy today: not only a pattern finish but a finished object! I finished Amelia’s Happy Birthday cross stitch during naptime on her birthday yesterday, and finished the cube last night. I had to wait for daylight to take photos, and here it is!

I loved the easy cube finish that I did for the Beekeeper cross stitch, so I decided to try my luck again. I like these cubes because they only need a few supplies, they’re quick to assemble, and all the applique pins can be taken out if I ever decide to re-finish it later. Plus, a cube is a fun decoration instead of the usual frame on the wall.

(For more details on the actual process of making a covered cube, check out my post here.)

 

Ta da!

 

 

 

Since this is also the first time I’m sharing the finished pattern, here are a few favorite process pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though it was down to the wire, I’m glad I finished this just in time for Amelia’s first birthday. Incorporating her birthday crown is the perfect excuse to bring it out every year!
