Here is a little look at the cross stitch I've been doing. I used do a bit of cross stitching years ago and recently felt an urge to have another bash at it. I posted a picture of the quilt lady a while back and that's what got me started again. I have even bought some cross stitch magazines to flick through. One design caught my eye and I had to do it. I even knew who I was making it for. Here it is all finished and it now belongs to the lovely Karol-Ann.
This had her name written all over it and I'm so glad she likes it. I have actually started a new BIG cross stitch picture and although I have done a fair few hours on it there is not an awful lot to show yet. Anyone who does this work knows it is slow - but I am really enjoying it.
I have not abandoned my quilting - fear not. In fact I have a finish to show - just need to take photos.
Too hot here at the moment - I SO dislike Summer. I have been working away at lots of bits and bobs in front of my best new buy - a lovely big desk fan - lol !
See you soon xx

Thanks again Andrea! I do love it. I blogged about it too (blog post also called Happy dance LOL)
I look forward to seeing what you're up to now!!
wow....what a great project...and Happy Dance is perfect....I am sure it will be treasured! I am enjoying winter here - we have had some nice wintery weather and even some rain which makes a nice change...hope we get a little more before it goes away! Keep cool!
Oh Andrea this is so totally neat! Everything you create is just beaming and distinctive. The fabric you used to frame this with accentuated it perfectly.
What a lovely way to use/ present a cross stitch panel - it really enhabces it.
