"I have 2 cross stitch projects on the go. A large world map that will probably take years and a small coastal scene. I also design house pland for fun. Do you frame your cross stitch? I never frame my cross stitch, i had designed and sewn one for my then hubby for valentines day, he threw it away !! However I have given some as cards over the years, some were framed by the recipients. My now hubby wants to frame some but i simply enjoy doing them
I love all types of embroidery, I don't know if you're familiar with doodle stitching but I really enjoy that. I embroider tea towels, towels... anything that doesn't move. I made a beautiful embroidered, padded coat hanger for our daughter's wedding dress. I think it's nice to have the things you've made in use
People who throw the things you've made away have no soul and no clue as to the time and bits of yourself invested in the item"Ooooo I'll have a look at doodle stitching | |||
