Beautiful! I know that it took many, many hours to do that...a true labor of love. I haven't cross-stitched in years but keep thinking that I need to get back at it.....also crocheting and regular embroidery. Just can't seem to get interested in my "old" hobbies since I found QUILTING!

Well done and Yes....like the others I do know what time and effort goes into such beautiful cross-stitch. Like Jennie, I haven't done much else since I became immersed in Quilting. Though I am doing a Russian Needle-punch piece.....way easier to do than cross-stitch.

Great cross stitch.

That's a lot of work! I hope you're going to frame it for the holidays. Nice work.

Oh my, what a true work of art. So much time & patience but magnificent results.

Thanks to all for the compliments! I will cross-stitch my name and date at the bottom of this one, most times I don't. Will also frame it for a gift for my son and his wife. I figure it will be like a gift every year, you know how when you get out all your christmas decorations, you are saying, oh, I forgot about this!

I have never lost my love of cross stitching. Your Christmas stitcher is beautiful, and sooo much work in that! Great job!

Really beautiful. I use to do counted cross stitch and can appreciate all the work that went into it.

Very nice! I did a small cross stitch once and swore I would never attempt it again. You have done such a beautiful job and I truly appreciate all that it took to get it to this point.

Beautiful work! I know that took a looooooong time to do.
