My favourite cross stitch picture

Post by Mercedes »

This cross stitch picture is actually quite old now, I think I made it about 6yrs ago, but it took me over a year to do would you believe. I don't have the eyesight or the patience to do another one {rofwl}

Truly beautiful.
Sometimes I wish I only had the one. I am now like the Tate gallery and have to take one down to put another up,switching them around {rofwl}

I did a simliar one for my daughters anniversary a few years back, but a wheel barrow.
I am into Native American Indians. Maybe I will put some on for you to have a look at.

Is the beer in your avatar responsible for the poor eyesight? {hug&kiss}

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

I hear you madmum, honestly when I was really into doing mine it was all I could think about. I would rush around getting my housework done and spend the rest of the day doing cross stitch. Then I found the internet sile}

That is really beautiful and I can see why it took so long.
I have a couple of cross stitch pictures that I did some time ago, but have now sent all my threads etc. to my sister who is an avid stitcher.
A lovely hobby and one that you can just pick up when the fancy takes you.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
