Me too. Mostly work on them in the winter. DH is gone 2-3 evenings a week with meetings. I sit with a cup a tea and the woodstove. My Ott light made a huge difference for me. Plus new tri-focals.

I use to cross stitch until the arthritis took over. I love doing candlewicking now. I made Christmas Tree decorations the beginning of this year for this coming Christmas. I enjoy sitting on the front porch doing them. It helps me feel cool when the weather is hot.

I do counted cross stitch and love it! My DIL got me hooked on it about 25 years ago when she was dating my son. Have been doing it for years. I find it very relaxing. Now that I have tendonitis in my shoulders and elbows which limits my knitting and crocheting, I find the the cross stitch does not bother me.

Hello, I have made a couple quilts, that I used a cross stitch project square for the center of the quilt. It turned out pretty good. :) Marcine

I love to cross stitch. I have been doing it for a lot longer than I have been quilting. Attached is a picture of one of my favourites that I quilted a frame on, and quilted the picture as well. As you can see, the subject is one dear to my heart, quilting!

That is beautiful. It's a work of art.
