I have learned to somewhat enjoy finishing.  It's the next step in the creativity I share with my stitching and it's practical too.  Because we have limited space on our walls and Easels (also known as a "stand-up or flat fold", offers a simple way to change our decor economically and seasonally without making additional holes in our walls.  This leaflet will give all the basics for creating the easel finish.  Easel making is not a difficult finish and once you have gone through the steps, you'll be surprised at how fun easels can be.  Included also is the chart for Hex Symbol shown on the cover.
