Any Suggestions???
I am just finishing a small piece for a friend who is shortly going to have a baby. It will have the baby's name and birth date on it, but I'm not sure how to present it and I would really appreciate any suggestions.
I don't want to frame it as I know she already has two WTP pieces of framed cross stitch for the nursery and another piece maybe overkill. I did think about making it into a card but it is too big - it is about 15" long.
Any thoughts

Or it could be a (bit unusual form of) name plate for the door.

Re: Any Suggestions???
Depending on how long it is -- a height chart?

Re: Any Suggestions???
i dont have a new suggestion but i agree with the others gt would make a great bell pull or cushion.
Re: Any Suggestions???
This is really a sweet piece. I am sure your friend will appreciate this. I think a bellpull is a great way to finish off.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: Any Suggestions???
Yes, from the shape of it, I think a bell-pull would be lovely. Framecraft sell bell-pull ends:

I don't have any other ideas Un.
It is very cute, and will look beautiful whatever you decide

It's asking to be a bell pull, isn't it? And there are some great bell pull ends out there, everything from very plain to terribly ornate.

What great ideas - thank you all.
The bell pulls do look nice - I've not heard of them before.

What a lovely peice, well done.
I agree with a bell pull, its just calling out to be a bell pull. I also like Agi's idea of a name plate to. Will look great as either one, let us no what u decide though, plz.

Re: Any Suggestions???
That's very cute. I'm rather fond of the height chart idea but not sure of a way to make it work.

Re: Any Suggestions???
You just measure upwards from the bottom, starting at, say 45cm, then backstitch in the heights at the appropriate intervals; I like them but unfortunately have no call for them as my stepsons are both past the 'cute height chart' stage
But the bell pull idea is lovely for this - it may be a bit short for a height chart.
