Friday Finishes #25: Welcome Home
The finished piece!
As we are all very well aware, I am a big fan of mini kits. My favorite mini kits are the ones that have a lot of detail in a few small amount of space. Today’s Friday Finishes is one of those detailed mini kits!
Name of Piece: WM45690 Home
Designed by: There is no designer listed.
Distributed as a kit by Plaid Bucilla.
Kit Contains: Frame, 14 ct. Aida cloth (100% cotton), floss, needle, instructions, and chart.
Finished Size: 2.5 in x 2.5 in.
The Story: At this point I’ve forgotten where I got this mini kit from. It was definitely at one of the craft stores. I like landscape pieces, like houses and such, but ordinarily the best landscape pieces are enormous and way beyond my stitching limits. So to find a mini kit of a house with a large amount of detail in a small amount of space, I was so excited to stitch this.
Time To Complete: A few hours over several days, which is the norm when I stitch.
Review: Most of the Bucilla kits I find are mini kits, and their mini kits are always very high quality. Their instructions can be a little difficult to read as they’re printed in three languages, so I had to navigate around to find English. But the instructions were very thorough and easy to follow. They even include instructions on how to wash and iron your piece. I thought that was nice, most kits give you framing instructions and that’s it.
I will say from the cover model on this piece that it gives you the impression that there will be a lot more room in the frame for the stitching… there’s not. The stitching sits right against the frame and I had to be careful to make sure none of the stitches were actually under the frame when I went to frame it. Still, that was the only fault with the piece!
The finished piece!
Final Verdict: I would definitely highly recommend this mini kit. So much fun to do! And such detail for only 2.5 inches! I really like the quality of Bucilla kits!

Friday Finishes is a segment where I catalog and review all the cross-stitch pieces I have ever completed. Some of the pieces I no longer have information on, or I don’t have pictures because I gave away the piece as a gift and forgot to take a picture, but I’ll do my best to be as informative as possible! Check back on Fridays for more.
