Quilted Cross Stitch
 

I made this for a silent auction at our guild show in May. Spent a lot of time trying to find the right fabric for the frame.

Looks great. You definitely found the right frame fabric.

Gorgeous piece!! You do lovely work!

That came out beautiful. I also do counted cross stitch.

That is such a pretty picture and the frame fabric is perfect for it!

WOW!!! That is BEAUTIFUL!!! :) :) :) There sure are MANY hours in that gorgeous piece! :) :)

Should bring lots of money - beautiful!

That is stunning!! How did you add the border to the edges of the Ada fabric? I've done some great pieces, I'd love to incorporate them into a quilt.

The border fabric definately makes the quilt! Nice work!

Absolutely gorgeous, love it all, especially your cross stitch picture. Perfect frame.

I don't trim the Aida fabric. I draw a line a quarter inch from where I want the border to be. Lay the border fabric face down and sew my quarter inch seam. If I want mitered borders, I sew the border pieces together leaving a 1/4" unsewn on the inner seam. Then I press in under and machine applique the border on.
I have found that if I trim the Aida fabric, it tends to fray and pull out of the seam. I usually 2-4 inches of extra on each side. Once I quilt it, it won't pull out.

Gorgeous!!! I cross stitch.........lots of hours in your picture......beautiful job!! Love how you framed it :)

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Thanks for posting.

That is just beautiful! Wow, that's alot of work to donate for your siletn auction. There are a lot of hours put into counted cross stitch but the end result is just too cool.

Very nice.
You have been one busy person.
All your work is outstanding.

That's so pretty - love to do cross stitch.

Wow! Gorgeous!!!

That is really pretty. Do you have the name of the cross stitch pattern? I also do cross stitch and my Mom would love that!

very nice.....

What a gorgeous piece! I would certainly be bidding on it. Hope you make a bundle.

That is gorgeous. So impressed with those who do counted cross stitch... I have tried and realize that I just cant count! Love the fabric you picked.

You can tell you put your whole heart into this, it is most amazing!!

I love Paula Vaughn XS designs...used to do a bunch of cross stitch before I discovered quilting. Very nice quilt! :)

How beautiful. I love it.

Beautiful, Love the fabric choice.

So beautiful, I love it. I think I have that cross stitch pattern around somewhere. My mom loves to cross stitch. When she finishes one I always put borders on it for her and do some quilting. She has sold quite a few at various craft shows and I have several hanging around the house.

It was in a Paula Vaughan book with a quilt for each month.

I want to do one. That is so lovely. Just love it. I have to try it.

I love quilting them. I can't afford to have them framed, but actually prefer the look of them when quilted. One of these days I will get some better lighting so I can do more. As I age, the lights seem to get dimmer. LOL

Oh, so very pretty! I love cross-stitch! :)
