I worked on this cross stitch design on and off for quite a few years. I finally finished the stitching last fall, and have just now gotten around to matting and framing it!

If anyone would like the pattern, since I am done with it, send me a c-mail, and I will mail it out to you!
The pattern has been taken. Lets hope the next stitcher can show us some of her work!"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

That's cute! I will have to take some pics later, for some reason I never took pics of any cross stitch I did and so many were given away

OK, Finally got a couple of pics...I took more but some were fuzzy, camera is being goofy today :(
Here's the only 'true' sampler I've done, this was a lot of fun, it seemed like it had at least 20 different stitches it used and I love the colors

A close up of the stitches, hopefully no one can tell how mediocre I am...and hopefully it isn't too fuzzy!

darn it, I meant to post this one

Love the colors in this, too. I love this designer but I can't think of her name right now. I have at least 2 of her huge kits in the closet waiting to be made, they are huge, really huge, but gorgeous, the ones that incorporate beads and large beautiful borders, they will take forever lol

Ooh, those are very pretty Lynn!"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Thanks Jeannie! That's the thing about cross stitch isn't, all you really need is time

Jeannie, that looks like a labor of love - very pretty!
Lynn, yours look like a lot of work too....
I used to do a lot of cross stitch but have moved on to other crafts now. But I still think they're beautiful.

I haven't done any in a very long time, but I get the itch to, just want to be sure I have the time before I start something, don't you get the itch?
goldfinch4 Feb 15, 2010 2:55 PM CSTName: Chris Wisconsin z4
Oh yeah, I get the itch to do a lot of things I don't have time for! It's a real effort to control myself to not buy a bunch of patterns and supplies for stuff I'll never get around to doing....

Guess I don't have as much control as you, Chris!"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

lmao I was gonna say they same thing Jeannie!
goldfinch4 Feb 16, 2010 7:00 AM CSTName: Chris Wisconsin z4
Oh believe me, I've done that many times! I'm just trying harder not to these days.
azreno Feb 16, 2010 7:20 AM CSTName: Lynn Reno Mesa, AZ Purple Rocks!
I think the more projects you have waiting the more I have to try harder...you must have a ton of projects waiting
goldfinch4 Feb 16, 2010 12:06 PM CSTName: Chris Wisconsin z4
I do - but working full time cuts into my play time! I think every time I complete something I think of 3 new things I want to do.

Here is one I finished about 5 years ago. The designer is Theresa Wentzler (sp ??)
