I have enjoyed seeing the bags you make from old tapestry stitching - perhaps I could make something similar (but smaller) with old cross stitch pieces.

I have a beautiful framed cross stitching with pattern i found in the magazine. It is animals and the text from the song "All creatures great and small".

When we moved, I removed some of mine from their frames and I'm trying to work out a way to repurpose them.

Money was tight, and she'd make special gifts for our mother and others. Now, when I see framed cross stitch in antique shops and thrift stores that obviously took many hours of work, I buy them. It's such an admirable and enviable skill.

I taught my daughter when she was about 5 years old and she still loves to cross stitch.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-79430987156666808792021-07-02T19:12:20.324+01:002021-07-02T19:12:20.324+01:00What a great magazine with kits, perfect for an aw...What a great magazine with kits, perfect for an away from home visit. I think I may have done some cross stitch in the past but I was put off embroidery when someone gave me a very fine petit point kit of roses and it took so much concentration and in the end I left it and one day found that the fine canvas had deteriorated where it was folded and I got rid of it, with some relief. I love your little mat sampler. You obviously were born with talent for embroidery and maybe Rosie will take to it as well. She certainly seems a very smart little girl.Bushladynoreply@blogger.com
