I used to crossstitch too.
But it's takes toooo long to finish anything.
Quilting is much more satisfying!!
Your work is beautiful!

Your work is beautiful! I still do XS, but my projects are never as large as yours! Sorry, you can't do it anymore!

Those are beautiful! You do GREAT work. My eyes won't let me do that now.

Beautiful work! I used to x-stitch too. I quit using the hoop and started rolling the fabric and holding it in my left hand. It was amazing how much quicker it was! I don't do it now- started quilting AND I was having trouble reading those small patterns.

Those are beautiful. It takes a lot more patience than I have good eyesight and steady hand I admire your beautiful work.

You must be an AWESOME quilter....I could never do counted cross stitch.

My OCD pops up in other areas!

Dodie 12-07-2010 06:57 AM

beautiful work always loved it never able to do it

Karen K. 12-07-2010 07:14 AM

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so impressed. My husband has done a lot of Cross Stitch so I have a good idea of how much time you have put into this work. Only those of us who do hand work and quilting can appreciate the time you spent.

Beautiful cross-stitching! As with quilts I always have several cross-stitch projects in the works. I'm currently working on 3 kittens in a wicker basket surrounded by flowers.

WOW, your counted cross stitch work is
beautiful. I too, used to do the counted
cross stitch work and have finished
many of the Santas that you have. It
is a fun/relaxing hobby. Good work.

These are beautiful. I have done a couple of the same ones so I know how much work goes into them. Beautiful

mammab 12-07-2010 12:05 PM

Very beautiful. I do this sometimes when I need or change or quilting is not practical-like on long flights to Singapore.

OKLAHOMA PEACH 12-07-2010 12:07 PM

Absolutely beautiful! Can you imagine doing one of these in the center of a quilt? Then you could do both in one... :)
