cross stitch
#82
When I was in college a friend of mine tried to talk me into trying cross stitching. I just could not get over the 'mess' on the back and told her no. We graduated and moved on with our lives - and lo and behold - - -I discovered cross stitching on my own - LOVE IT... our first year of marriage I told my husband we would always have new handmade ornaments each year - to add to our collection - the first year - all new cross stitch ornaments - 22 years later we still have them!

I am a cross stitcher too. I have --ahem :? -- a "few" unfinished projects. Since I am consumed with quilting at the moment, I haven't touched any of them for months.
I will get back to them at some point :-D

OH I do this as well, I've got a ton of projects started right now.I like the huge BAPs that take years to do....mostly because I tend to cross stitch in the summer when it too hot to mess with quilting or much machine sewing and the big pieces of fabric for cutting.
I love TW's, Mirabilia's, MLI's, and have started on HAED's and am very happy I bought a ton of CS related stash during more solvent days because it's paying off during my DH's recent lay-off and current under-employment situation,lol All I have to do is shop my stash! :D

Oh, I've been doing counted cross stitch for many, many years. I'm working on a piece called "Summer Queen" by Mirabella. I have both of the Winter and Spring Queens done, so now it's just the Summer and Fall to do.

Ever consider hosting a "finishing" party? You get to finish a project or two and enjoy the company of others as you do it. It's lots of fun, especially if it's a BYOB (bring your own bag lunch) or a potluck.
