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.

That's lovely, Martine. Love cross-stitch designs, especially when they are simple and quick to stitch, as my eyesight isn't so good either.

I love both of the projects. Would a magnifying light help you to do hand embroidery?

Yes, I've got one recently and got this UFO out last Sunday, does wonders for me. Fortunately I did all the black ages ago. I started this in 1974!! It's about time I finished it.

It has pretty shading with the variegated thread. Nice design.

Thank you. I thought it would be a bit boring in one colour and I think the variegated thread makes quite a difference.

A ten minute pincushion that looks -- wonderful! You have done beautiful work on both projects! I am in complete awe over your hand-stitching. The whole piece is incredible!

Thank you. There are 12 couples, 5 with a child, that represent Dutch regional costumes.

Beautiful little pin cushion. Your couples are so pretty, they are a lot of work as I can see, they are very intricate which make them so attractive.

Wow! Martine these are just beautiful. I love the Dutch couples, they will be fabulous when completed. You'll eventually do it, I love finding UFO's and finishing them. Good luck with it. Love and blessings Chris

Thanks Chris. I am doing an hour every day. Got reading glasses (+2) and that makes life a lot easier.
