Cross stitch pincushion I digitised and stitched out today, front and back took 10 minutes each, on top of part of a piece I have been working on for years. That one has 14 threads or 7 crosses to the cm and is a bit hard on my (current) eyesight.
Cross sitch snowdrops stitched out on a notebook cover (A6 size). Picture 1 is the front, picture 2 the design on the back. I used a couple of pictures I took last year. Today it's snowing again.
No embroidery machine available until I'll be home again, but I did take my laptop with me. Took a picture of the sampler my daughter, then 11years old, made 30 years ago. It was done on even weave linen with 2 strands of DMC cotton embroidery floss. Bro
Notebook (A6) cover Cross stitch addiction, front and back.
Notebook cover I love the embroidered "bumad" - the regional dress of Norway, often worn at weddings or on May 17th, the national feastday. Embroidery is wool on wool, often still made by hand at home. I digitised my take on a design (th
Last one - you must be getting bored by now. I remembered I had my father's book-cover which I made for a wedding anniversary ages ago, in the popular colours of the time - brown, orange and green.The ship is a traditional design on Dutch samplers

Tray cloth or placemat? Don't know what it is going to be. I just had to try and make the design to fit my largest hoop (200x360 mm). It has 33011 stitches and took a long time to stitch. But I could never have done it by hand in one and a half ho

Bookcover. Had to test stitch a design and used it to make yet another bookcover. My "gift drawer" is well stocked :) Had only a small remnant of the linen, so I added a piping, dark green ( lighter than in the picture).
Bib I've been bitten by the cross stitch bug :)
Guest towel. I just had to try out how the cross stitch designs would sew on towelling. The stitches are made so that the back looks just as nice as the front - a feature of the program, not due to any effort by me. So I used wss at the back an
Cross stitch ornament Carolyn really got me going with the cross stitch module. Inspired by the red and gold heart designs I came up with this - used the traditional methods of decoration and it looks (and feels) like the real McCoy. It stitched ou
Cross stitch honeysuckle. When Carolyn asked a question about 5D Cross stitch I wanted to illustrate my answer with a few pictures of steps taken, so I made this simple design. I had to use it at least once, or rather trice. And yes, it will be
