Cross Stitch Display.

I would like to thank Chookyblue for inviting us to display our cross stitches today.
When I decided to join in I did not realise how difficult it is to photograph framed stitcheries.
Here is the result and sorry if they are a bit blurry.
015

My “Chooks”
I have two more waiting to be done.


                                Spent many hours stitching
          017       before I started quilting
018                After looking at all the beautiful work on all the ladies blogs I would like to do some more. If I have the time.

This is the first one I stitched.
It is my favourite as it reminds me of my DD1 013
when she was that small.



                                Busy mice that hang on my sewing room door.

Thank you Chooky. I have enjoyed participating in this tour and it is fun blog hopping to see all the lovely work.

    I love counted cross stitch. But I can't see to do the stitches anymore, and my fingers don't always want to work the same way.

    Your work is beautiful!

    Very nice stitching! I used to do a lot of cross stitching before I discovered scrapbooking. But then I found quilting and I forgot all about scrapbooking. Now I'm starting to do some cross stitching again.

    Gorgeous! It's lovely to see peoples creations too. Maybe we should all join and do a small cross stitch swap or something? Or a pattern swap? I LOVE the one with the little girl on the beach :)

    Thanks for sharing your cross stitch.
    I did one of the busy mice series, they were making a quilt. I can't seem to find a picture of it though.

    They are all so beautiful. What a great job you did. Several years ago I did a few, but now my eyes are too bad. That is what comes with age for some of us.

    You have some lovely pieces, Maria. It has been fun to view all of these amazing works. I wonder how many thousands of hours it has taken us to work them?
