None of the others shown are but she has done other pictures from the Lavender and Lace series.
Most of the pictures done are either on 14 or 16 count material.

Re: Cross Stitch
It occurs to me that people might think that the pictures are designed by Mrs mart. Is/was that the thought? Sorry if so. I don't think many cross stitchers do that.It's reading and transferring the pattern to the material, how well it's done and the carefulness of the stitching that is the skill. There are many colours and subtle shades involved. That's why the more detailed ones can take months or even years to complete. It's a skill rather than artistry.
There are computer programs that can turn pictures into DMC (a thread making company) cross stitch patterns. I believe the making of these complicated patterns are computer-aided. This is the paper pattern that has to be worked with...
Just thought I should say this.
