Introduction… The Cross Stitcher!

Posted by thecrossstitcher on July 3, 2009

Hi everyone… I actually don’t have an progress to show yet…! I only discovered this SAL last week and have been waiting until I go to town to get the threads I need and also get some fabric to start the sampler on. I’m really excited about starting this one… I have many wips… but that’s okay… this one excites me because it’s something totally different to anything I’ve done before! I’m intrigued by the history behind this sampler and it’s gotten me reinspired about cross stitching. I have another blog that is for my sewing and stitching… but wanted something where I could just concentrate on my cross stitching. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and get a beautiful project under way. I’ll be back with updates later as to how my work is progressing… looks like I have alot to catch up on!!

Maree.

    How did your eyes adjust to the smaller count.
    I to have been reinspired. I am trying out the motives by doing needle cases and pin cushions for my daughter for her birthday.
