Have you noticed that Cross Stitch is making a "come back"? I did lots of cross stitch and counted cross stitch in the '80s and "90s. (I know, showing my age.) Actually I've been cross stitching since I was five. My Grandmother taught me how. These are my first two pieces:
They were to be potholders. I guess you could say these are my oldest UFOs! I started the UFO habit early!
But once I got bit by the quilting bug, I kind of quit doing cross stitch. I cleaned out a bunch of kits and saved a few for "Retirement". And that leads me to now. I bought this kit at a garage sale for 25 cents years ago. So I decided to spend some time in the afternoon stitching.
I'm thinking it will be made into a large pincushion. Or maybe another potholder...

Maybe your oldest UFO, but possibly also the cutest!
Thank you!
Boy if I was to go through some of the boxes I have I the garage I would come across some cross Stitch from years ago too. Whether a pin cushion or pot holder would be nice
Thank you for the well wishes and I am going to try harder to be more consistented.
