Your cross stitch is wonderful! I used to do cross stitch! a wonderful hobby!

As a fellow cross stitcher I think it is beautiful and I appreciate the time you spent on it. :)

Nanaof4 04-29-2013 02:02 PM

OMG! That is just incredible, so much work. It sure is a prize winner in my book.

Glad you could get it posted. Looks great!!

That is truly beautimus!! I loved counted cross stitch until my arms got so short I couldn't see what I was holding in my hands anymore. :D

QuiltnLady1 04-29-2013 04:21 PM

Beautiful!! Great job!! I have done quite a bit counted cross stitch in my past life (before hand issues) and I can appreciate the amount of work that went into what you did. Beautiful work!!!

nanacc 04-29-2013 04:24 PM

Not only a cross-stitcher could appreciate that! A cross-stitcher's Mom certainly appreciates this beautiful work!!

Sewfine 04-29-2013 04:27 PM

That is beautiful. Glad you were able to post pictures. I used to cross stitch a lot before I got addicted to quilting.

erstan947 04-29-2013 05:28 PM

Beautifully done. Counted Cross Stitch is a great take along project. Thanks for taking the time to show us~

Cyn 04-29-2013 05:30 PM

I love it too. I have taken several of my cross stitches and made them into quilted wall hangings>

omacookie 04-29-2013 05:30 PM

Nammie to 7 04-29-2013 07:31 PM

Beautiful work - makes me want to cross stitch again!

Teddybear Lady 04-29-2013 08:14 PM

I'm not a cross stitcher, but I do appreciate the work I see you've done. My sister-in-law has done cross stitch photos of her children. They look like paintings. I did some small things years ago, but my eyes kept wanting to cross. haha I think your work is beautiful.

Jennie and Me 04-29-2013 09:28 PM

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!

earthwalker 04-29-2013 11:21 PM

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.

sharisews 04-30-2013 12:57 AM

Great cross stitch.

orangeroom 04-30-2013 01:23 AM

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

callen 04-30-2013 03:48 AM

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

Latrinka 04-30-2013 04:04 AM

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!

Woodster 04-30-2013 04:04 AM

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

Jingle 04-30-2013 04:09 AM

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

WMD926 04-30-2013 05:34 AM

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.

dirty1mom 04-30-2013 06:03 AM

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

Delta 04-30-2013 06:11 AM

sweet. I use to do cross stitch and I really like this one.

quiltingeileen 04-30-2013 06:12 AM

You must have so much patience :) Love it. It will certainly be a family heirloom.

tessagin 04-30-2013 06:14 AM
