Cross Stitching

[pgray1229]

I LOVE to cross stitch. I wish I had more time to do it.. I have a 9 month old so by the time he gets laid down, I check my messages, then off to bed!
I particularly like Lavender And Lace.

Anyone else cross stitch?

Yep I do too. You can get free (and very beautiful) patterns at DMC.com. I've done a few from them from there.

I love Lavender and Lace! A few months ago I finished "Angel of Mercy." There was plenty of beadwork on it, which I love the look of.

I also like Marjolein Bastin.

My mom taught me to cross stitch when I was younger. I love to work on pillows and towles.

Yup, I cross stitch too. Working on a half-cross stitch tapestry at the moment.

Since I can't work at the moment I spend a *lot* of my time cross stitching. My favourite designers at the moment are Chatelaine and Mirabilia.

I love making stitching gifts for family and friends.

I had to cross stitch for my home-ec exam. I did it last year.

I love to cross stitch! I don't have any favorite designers, I just buy what's on clearance at Michaels (only once have I bought a full price kit, and only cause my hubby was in love w/ the design and he said it was ok to buy... otherwise I am a bargain bin only girl). I have so many projects I'm 'in the middle of'... the one I'm working on now I can't just lay down and forget about cause it's special for a new addition in our family. I don't like Pooh but that's what his mommy picked... it was on clearance at Michaels and it was on the other side of the store from the cross stitch aisle, so I was lucky to find it... it was a 30 dollar kit that I got for 5 bucks... so I'm happy about that for sure!

IF you love lavender and lace you should look at mirabilia. They are to die for.

Hi, I'm one your oldies and I've been stitching for over 30 years and I love it.
We have a X Stitch Club at our church and we make bookmarks for the hymn books (50% disappear over the year so we are always doing new ones). We have also made a stole for one of our pastors and a silhouette picture for another of our pastors. We also make cards and bookmarks to raise money for church funds. We also have a good cuppa and gossip at the same time ... great.

You're right, Mirabilia designs are gorgeous. I've heard other people talk about them too. There are quite a few places on-line that sell them, I'll have to order me some.

I'm a cross stitcher too I don't have a particularly favorite designer, I like a wide variety. I've been stitching for over three years now. Here's my first one (I've finished many more after this one but I am proudest of this one):

This is the pooh project I was talking about up there... I JUST finished it, I haven't cleaned or ironed it yet... so excuse the messy heap it appears in... only posting cause a couple ppl asked me to!

 

[labellady]

That's wonderful! I have stitched in the past, would like to start again.

I love to cross stitch, and people think that is weird because I am a 20 year old man. My girl friend got me into it, but sadly I am not talented enough, I can only do printed designs and not counted.

I love cross stitch too, and like a lot of you, don't have nearly enough time to do as much as I'd like I like making bookmarks, because...I like nice bookmarks!
