Re: Cross Stitch

It was her pastime for years but she had to stop doing them in the end because what with those and the wall-hung quilts, we have no more wall space to put them up ..plus there are the ones she has given to family and friends.

Re: Cross Stitch

These are beautiful, Mart - as someone who has dabbled in (simple) cross stitching, I can appreciate the effort that has gone into them.

Quilts, toys, decorations, cards ..just lots of things that involve craft handiwork.

The Renoir (Two Sisters On The Terrace) measures 20"x20" and took two years to stitch ..but she says that was at a time when she was starting to get into other crafts as well.
