Inspired by Jean's recent post, a group of bloggers have decided to "parade" some of the cross stitch that we have done over the years! Head to Chookyblue for some links.
I still love the tranquiliity of cross stitch and always have something on my frame...tastes change, but I enjoy making samplers, decorating objects & I adore overdyed threads & linens. I may not remember the pattern names but I still love seeing these on my walls. They are all behind glass so excuse pics please! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!
This is probably my favourite.
Next....
This sampler was called "A Walk in the Woods"...from 1993.
These two samplers were from patterns my DH bought for me while away with work. Again I am sampling stitches and some beading. I love the dragonflies on this one...
...and the grasshoppers on this. Can you see them?
More to come...

Beautiful work, so impressive, so jealous. It takes lots of patience, not to mention talent to do such intricate and lovely work.

Lovely samplers!
They are all lovely but I especially love the "walk in the woods" sampler
Fabulous work! I am in awe of hardanger!! very special treasures!
Beautiful stitcheries Cardygirl! I have the 'Walk in the Woods' pattern, have always loved it. Somehow, three kids got in the way of it ever being done. Yours is lovely, as are all your other intricate beauties!
I find cross stitch so relaxing but I haven't done any in a while. Yours are beautiful!
I too love the walk in the woods - keep coming back to have a look at that one.
Love Leanne NZ
