Counted Cross Stitch Christmas Stockings
 

Other than quilting my other passion is counted cross stitch. About 26 years ago I started what has become a tradition in my family- a counted cross stitch Christmas stocking for each member. These are some that I have completed so far. One for hubby, two sons, two daughter in laws, five grandkids.

Oops, did not get a picture for oldest granddaughters, so will have to go back.

Here is two more stocking that I failed to get posted on the original post.

I'm working on one for my first grandson in law and by Christmas 2015 will need one for my first granddaughter in law.

Oh what fun!! I am happiest when I am busy so really enjoy everything!!!

very nice! I do counted cross stich also. I started a Xmas tree skirt and I work on it part time (every now and then) it will take me years to finish it!!!

those are great

Those are great. Many of us have given up X-stitch because of getting old with our eyes.

beautiful work. I too love counted cross.
hopefully i'll get surgery in November and be able to see
good enough to do it again. I love all your designs and your work.

They are awesome. I'm sure they will be loved and valued for years to come.

You do beautiful work! I have done 33 stockings to date, my family and all my siblings grand children as well. Love
doing them.

I understand completely. I have a kit for one, purchased a long time ago, but have not even opened the kit. Wonder if I will live long enough to do it, would have to have another 50+ years added to my 66. (VBG)

Yes, that is happening with me also. I now only work on them in daylight hours. Seems to be easier to see than at night.
