I like this one Pat because I never get any bother with it. The thread is the most trouble, it needs watching the whole time but . . . it was only 20p for 2000 metres so why should I complain!

This is beautiful. I wear a Celtic cross given to me by my husband - may have to do one of these for him now. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks Sqdancer. Yes, I have stitched this one a few times, all with good results & I was dubious about using the cheap thread. It was the colour that attracted me to it for this bookmark . . it worked out well I am pleased to say.

Thank you Coco. I like the tassel to be attached but, of course, not really a necessity.

This was posted in 2008. She states the design is from Embroidery Library. If they don't have it anymore, then it is not available. You'd have to do a search on their website to find out.
by lidiad 02 Sep 2020
It is still available and I just bought that cross design in two sizes :-)
Hugs, Lidia

I think somebody pulls it back up every fall to find out where to find it in their downloads for working on Christmas presents. This is 3 or 4 years now that it has shown up for us!
