Cross Stitch Pics


Thought you might like to see a couple of the x stitch pics I have, at long last, got framed.




This one took for ever - 1 thread on 18 count linen - but I am so pleased with the end result.

Re: Cross Stitch Pics


beautiful I did x stitch for years, but cant any longer because of my arthritis. I can appreciate how much work and time has gone into those. The girl and dog is my favourite x

Re: Cross Stitch Pics


Absolutely stunning! I didn't know you did cross stitch, those are really lovely; I do crewel and needlepoint but could never get into cross stitch. The fox is my favorite. How long did it take you, roughly?

The fox was the quickest - in all I'd reckon about 20 hours
The show jumper around 30 hours
The Girl with the Golden Retriever I have no idea it actually took me two years to do, but I had long breaks in between doing it so kind of lost track. However I reckon 60+ hours.

I really enjoy it - done a bit of embroidery, never tried crewel.
