So pretty, very nice work! You did a beautiful job of keeping it square, not letting it get all pulled out of shape.

Those are beautiful. What a lot of work. I know how long they can take. Yours are beautiful art work. Great job.

Thanks.

Cross stitch tends to stay squared if you put the same tension on your stitches, because is being pulled on both directions evenly, unlike needlepoint, where only one side is pulled. I don't use a hoop or frame.

Thanks again for all you comments.

You do amazing work!!! I am just finishing a baby 'sampler' for my new nephew!!!

Beautiful!!! I love the way cross stitch looks, but it gives me a headache to work on an item for very long.

Nice work! I love to cross stitch too. It's hard to know which to do, quilt or stitch!

Beautiful!!
I've stitched the Lavender and Lace one!!! It's currently hanging in my MIL's house. I have completed about a dozen of her patterns, just love them!!!

no1jan 05-26-2010 03:18 AM

Absolutely gorgeous!

You should be glad you still have them. I used to cross-stitch but gave all away. Didn't even take pictures of them.

At least for quilting I have a book with pictures of all!

Your cross-stiching is breathless.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work. I have done cross stitching in the past and loved doing it.

CAROLJ 05-26-2010 04:56 AM

wendy123 05-26-2010 12:32 PM

Your work is beautiful, I should show some of mine and a cross stitcher.

sandpat 05-27-2010 05:23 AM

Those are gorgeous! I used to do lots of cross stitch..now that they started making the patterns so darned small :wink: I can't really do them easily anymore..so I quilt instead. Yours are fantastic....really!!! What are you going to do with them?

sandpat 05-27-2010 05:23 AM

oops...double post..sorry :roll:

Sue Fish 05-27-2010 05:45 AM

lovely work..I only do samplers it seems...but I do love cross stitch

biloxigirl 05-27-2010 05:46 AM

Beautiful. I did the angel too. I know how much hard work goes into it. I rescued some of my cross stitch from my flooded house after Hurricane Katrina. They have holes in places. I am trying to figure out how I can include them in a quilt.

estherblair 05-27-2010 06:22 AM

Wow wow WOW :thumbup:

Honey 05-27-2010 06:58 AM

Those are absolutly beautiful!! I especially love the angle & baby and the Sacred Heart of Mary. Do you ever sell them? Counted cross stitch is something I have never been able to conquer.

Dorothy of Kansas 05-27-2010 07:43 AM

Your cross stitch is gorgeous!! How long does it take you to do each one????/ I know cross stitch is time intensive!!

quiltincharlotte 05-27-2010 08:22 AM

HI - WOW!! Counted Cross Stitch is a passion of mine, too!! Where did you get the first one?? They are all fabulous - beautifully done!

suesews 05-27-2010 08:19 PM

Beautiful cross stitch....I used to do it alot, b4 quilting...LOL.
I too don't use a hoop...like to just have it loose in my lap. Do you work from kits? Or do you just use a chart with your own floss?

Sue

Merrilin 05-27-2010 09:09 PM

Those would look beautiful sewn into a quilt.
