I have to have a good light & I have a magnifying glass that hangs around my neck. In fact I have 2 of them but only wear 1 at the time. My mom did a lot of cross stitch when she was living. She always did her Christmas cards in cross stitch. I learned to love it from her/Lillian

This is really lovely. Have you already started your next project?
I've just bought an LED head torch to wear while I am cross stitching. It makes a huge difference! I've also seen magnifying specs with LEDs mounted in the frame but they were more expensive.

Thank you Sue.Right I'm more inclined to start another quilt, but I am also crocheting booties for the little one. I'm also getting way behind in yard work. LOL Just not enough time in the day.

I also love doing x stitch but since having an embroidery machine, it has taken over!!! Your x stitch is beautiful - a work of art. Please post again when framed. Sarah.

It gets more & more difficult for me Jerrilyn. cannot see it real well & I've got where my hands cramp but the same thing happens with quilting, I just work it out & keep going. Have done some for ea. of my girls with a quilt pictured, hanging on a line or back of a chair, I do love to cross stitch & hate to give it up./Lillian

Lillian, I know how much work goes into something like this because I did counted cross stitch before getting my emb. machine. I have several that I've done, one is a Thomas Kinkade and it's solid stitches. Maybe I'll post pics sometime. Your's is very pretty!

Ahh yes grandmother taught me yrs ago when I was just learning how to embroider cross stitch designs on feed sack dish towels, "It must look as nice on back as it does on front" she would say. You should post some of your hubby's work/Lillian

This is beautiful. My husband does counted cross stitch and he also does beautiful work, you would never think it was done by a man. The back looks as good as the front on his. Something I could never do.

Now Joanne, this comment is for design Crazy who is an Alabama girl. Post some of your work my dear girl. counted cross stitch is something to be proud of. I know yours would be beautiful./Lillian

Just beautiful! I love counted cross stitch. I used to do it for hours on end. My husband would want dinner and I would say just a couple more stitches. I haven't done it in a few years since my eyesight changed. Would love to get back into it. Maybe I should try one of those magnifying glasses.

I cannot see to do it without the mag. glass. it hangs on a cord around your neck & kinda sits on your chest & extends over the hoop at just the right angle for you to look through & work under it. thank you./Lillian

SUPER Job Lillian. Was this a counted x-stitch? I used to love watching the theme slowly appear as one works on it, but the hours one spends on it are uncountable.
1 comment
Yes this was counted cross stitch. started with blank 14 count aida & yes the hrs spent are uncountable. I just keep on keeping on 'till it's done little by little./Lillian
