Cross Stitch

 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...
