I used to do counted cross-stitch, but haven't picked it up for many years. These days for relaxation and "therapy" I prefer to quilt or embroider. I do admire the beautiful work dedicated cross-stitchers create, very delicate and subtle.

I have been cross stitching for a very long time. It was my first love in hand stitching. Here are just a few of mine the angel with the blue sash is mirabella and the other one i think is lavender and lace.

I like to cross stitch, and am currently cross stitching a baby blanket for my grandbaby that is due originally New Years eve, but they are going to take the baby C-section on the 22nd, so we will have a Xmas present early. But I have found I like the pre-printed ones better now then the others, I don't see the holes as well as I use to.

I will sure do that. I am only about 1/2-3/4 the way finished with it. I pick it up here and there to work on. I have been trying to work in Xmas present making too. I just finished 2 pillow quilts this week, 1 for my brother in law for Xmas and my sisters 60th b-day is this coming month and we are having a surprise party for her this Sat and I picked her some material out Sunday and finished it day before yesterday. I have another one to sew for my sister in law for Xmas, it is cut out, now I just need to sew it, thought about it today, but being lazy. But I need to work in this baby blanket more, I found a baby pillow case that is similar to the blanket that I want to cross stitch too if I can get the blanket done, if not it will be a late present. I will be sure and post the blanket picture for you though when it does finally get finished.

Both the angels are Lavender and lace. I have done those too. I love her work and have completed about 17 or 18 of them on linen. I have only framed about 14. They are not cheap to frame!!
