cross stitch
#73
The quilt in my Author box is a 3 year project with (23) 8" cross stitched Tigger, Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore blocks. It was great fun and a labor of love for my first grandaughter, Emma, who is now 4.
I've done a lot of samplers for births and marriages which are inexpensive to make but extremely costly to custom frame.
A great way to spend your TV time and an easy travel project!

I used to cross stitch all the time. I made my mil a set of hummingbirds once on linen. I've got several pieces hanging up that I made and I would make wedding announcements whenever anyone we knew got married. I've got tons of floss and patterns still. I just can't get as into it as I used to. Maybe though soon I'll finish the little picture of a wolf I started on for my son.....he keeps asking where it is.

I do it ... but with a LOT of cursing! I like the end result, but not necessarily the process. Of course, this doesn't stop me from doing them! I have been trying to figure out a pattern for Classic Pooh to make a birth "announcement" (i guess I can call it that) for my friend's baby

I love to cross stitch. Have been doing it for years. I have made everyone in my family a picture or two. I now do pictures and enter them in our state fair. So far have done pretty good. The picture on the side is a quilt I made that took about 15 years. Its all cross stitched victorian shops. Of course there's a qulting shop in there. I worked on it off and on. Now I sew during the day when I can and stitch at night.

I've got a Xstitch WIP, a pair of knitted socks WIP and 3 quilt WIPs now. I started cross stitching a long time ago and the urge just comes and goes. I have a hard time framing them after the stitching is done. Most of the time, it's just I have worked on them so long that I don't want to look at them anymore. Some day I'll get around and frame them.
