I have planned to hang the 10 auspicious chinese characters in my bedroom. At first, I was thinking maybe I should paint it but I am really not good in painting. So, why not make a cross-stitch design instead? First, I downloaded a suitable chinese font. Then enlarge it and using a free trial cross-stitch design software that I have downloaded online, I converted the chinese character into cross-stitch and start stitching with whatever leftover cross-stitch thread and cloth that I have in my stock.
I have decided to start with the chinese character 福 which means 'Blessings.' The frame is bought from Ikea. Cross-stitch is on 10-count cloth and the thread is DMC 666. Again, I love to 'trial and error' and just decided to sew without thinking of the size and all. Luckily it fit perfectly into the ready-made frame.
This chinese character is the most popular one. Many chinese will hang this chinese character in their house to bring in good blessings.
Wish everyone a blessed time!
