Here are a couple I finished recently. Cross stitch (as with crochet) was taught to me by my grandma.

I like them both, but I love that turtle one. So cute! (I used to do cross stich but got away from it. Now I just do redwork; and I haven't done that in a long time...) Beautiful work!

Beautiful!

I have a cross stitch project I'd like to finish this year...I always seem to have too many crochet projects going on, though!

[kittyloverdeb]

They are both terrific! I haven't cross stitched in SO long and I really miss it! I just can't seem to put my hook down long enough! Did you frame those yourself?

[TurtleLvr]

Thanks!

 

Kittyloverdeb, yes, I do my own framing.

I visit them quite often. I really like patternsonline.com . You download the pattern and print it. The pattern viewer is free and the pattern prices are cheaper than buying a book.

It reminded me of my 2 tortoises. They'd knock down a building to get to a rose. One weighs all of 3 lbs and the other is less than 1/2 lb.

I guess I missed these when you first posted them. They are beautiful. I also love cross stitch. That is what I have been doing lately.
