I finally managed to finish the screen frames for the sewing tables, they are really small, here is the back showing the rebate where the petit point will fit in.
I tea-dyed my petit point, the white background was just too bright and I also had to disguise a few dirt marks that the white thread picked up along the way.
I cut a piece of plastic to fit the frame and covered the one side with double side tape to mount the petit point to the plastic.
The petit point mounted to the plastic. Next I sealed the last row of stitching on all four sides with glue....
And then.... a real SCARY step, cut all the extra gauze off!!!!
Showing it in the table that still needs a few finishing touches.
Even with the table top raised you still see the birds.

That's fantastic Elga! I love the colour details - and I know what you mean about finishing. My heart is always in my mouth at those moments, hoping that nothing goes wrong after so much time spent stitching!

The finished piece is so beautiful how I wish I could really see it in person!!! Oh boy, after all that work having to tea stain it then cutting off the gauze so close to the stitches!!! OMG!!!
