Default Cross Stitch Castle pillow for Ella Grace

Found this pattern about 18 yrs ago in Al Khobar, Saudia Arabia & finally put it to use for my DGD.
Thanks for looking!

Your pillow is beautiful! Many years ago I did counted cross stitch and could sit for hours doing this craft. Once the quilting bug hit me, I haven't done any cross stitch. I still have all of my patterns and aida fabric and just can't give them away.

Cheesehead- I did the same thing but then two years ago my middle son got married and I stitched a wedding sampler for them. I had forgotten how much I loved counted cross stitch. But I enjoy quilting even more.
djmat- the pillow is beautiful!!!!!!!!

That's beautiful. Love counted cross stitch. It's my "go to" when watching TV at night.

Your castle is needlepoint, not counted cross stitch.

The castle is indeed counted cross stitched using 6 strands. I'm willing to learn needlepoint but my quilting gets in the way! Don't know when or if I'll cross stitch again, it was a fluke, really.
hugs,
