Latest cross stitch project...

[Capt Lightning]

Trust my OH. She suggested that a cross stitched tablecloth would make a nice Christmas pressy. Then she added that they take ages to do so I was unlikely to complete it By December! Well she's off visiting our daughters, so I got stuck in and completed 1/4 of it in a week. I think that finishing it by Christmas, just might be possible .....

Here's one panel (pattern is about 20" wide) - just another 3 to do.



Needs ironed !!

I was doing my laundry last week and reading the old magazines up there. One of the women's magazines was a Halloween crafts issue and suggested cross-stitching designs on pumpkins. Really? Someone actually has the time and inclination to cross stitch on pumpkins? I have to get a good laugh out of some of these suggested crafts. Who thinks these things up?

Love the owls, Capt!

I love your owls! Quite a bit of detail there, so sweet.

Wow, that is intricate work Capt, every bit as fine as any of my great grandmother's work. She trained as a court seamstress, could do beautiful fine work also.

Very nice, Capt.!
