Cross stitches :)

[Bumble Bee]

I took up cross stitching last spring and love it I'm planning to make some sort of knight-related one for my boyfriend for his birthday... where might I find a pattern like that? Also, does anyone know how to make a "favor"... you know, the kind ladies would bestow on their knights at jousts? I want to make him one of those too... not necessarily cross stitch, but still.

Hi

Just do a google search; there are kits you can buy online and also free patterns.

Not sure about the 'favor'; you could google that too.

Good luck...and happy stitching

(I haven't done it in ages )

I'm working on a couple baby gifts, and then I also thought I would make something for each of my roommates as wedding presents.

I have no patience for cross stitching. My mom and sisters would always have to finish it for me since I can only do half of it.

But it's pretty cool. I learned a couple of cross-stitching styles. I applaud you for making cross-stitches as your gifts. Your time, energy and patience are being tested but that's why it's called a labor of "love".

God bless you and your stitching!

I had the patience, but at my age my eyesight is also a factor ~ even with a magnifying glass, it is very tiring and not enjoyable.

Looks like I will have to pick up my crochet hook or knitting needles some day instead

I would love to get back into embroidery. Well, I was just starting to learn, then didn't have time for it. Right now I am busy drawing and painting.
