The last thing I stitched was a coaster a friend asked me to make for a present- one of my subversive ones so I won't tell you the actual wording or else your site may well blow up lol but she loved it :) - even though I cross stitch a lot this looks like an excellent book as I design most of the cros stitches I do :) thanks xxx

I'm working on a "cottage" of a lighthouse keeper, from a series of cottages. Hope to have a whole "neighborhood" on my hall wall someday!

I last cross stitched with my girl of 9 years old, stitching monogram. I hope to do more with her on small motifs to decorate bookmarks, book covers, bag etc.

The last cross stitch I did was a friends name for her "all about her" scrapbook page. It was an excellent addition to her page as she is an avid cross stitcher too! I've been cross stitching since my preteens, it's a great way to relax and make beautiful art.

I'm working on a mini cross stitch that is meant to use up your extras. It's a little winter scene and has a snowman button. It's a very cute and quick project.

My sister would love this book. She was just saying the other day she needed to do more small projects. I used to cross stitch, but I have bad hands and it is hard to use a needle, too bad, I really liked it.

My last cross-stitch is a biscornu in some very regal purple and gold tones. It's a lovely design but these look like fun also :). Thank you for the opportunity.

I'm always cross-stitching for greeting cards. My last project was two robots - one in red and one in blue - for a wedding card.
