    Star letter

    Fiery finishes

    Here are two Chinese phoenixes that I stitched and had framed. The one with the black background was designed by Fiona Baker for Crazy issue 243 – I had it framed in gold and black. During the Lunar New Year in February last year, I added greetings in gold Chinese characters to a photo of it to make my own e-cards. The other is from Bewitching Cross Stitch by Joan Elliott, which was borrowed from the library. Monica Chong, Singapore

    Alison says: Your framed phoenixes are simply stunning, Monica. Thanks for sharing them with us!
