Are there any x-stitchers here??

Yep me, I have about 4 projects going right now.....a few small ones, and a big huge one that's for me.....I've never made myself a nice big one....but I make them for everyone else....Been doing it for about 5 years now, and I love it.....very relaxing. I have 3 boxes full of different colored thread, and a ton of books, and hoops. Are you working on anything right now????

raising my hand..I've done all sorts of counted thread needlework..

I do not do it very often, but I enjoy it to some degree. My current project is to X-stitch on my front screen door's screen. I'm doing a sunflower on the top middle of the screen and then doing a small vine with flowers and butterflies a little in the corners and then down the sides a little. Perhaps if I have time, I'll put a "welcome" on the bottom middle. It may take me a l-o-n-g time to get this done because I forget about it after a while.

I cross stich too. I tend to give them all away as gifts & never have any for my own home. I tend to stick to little ones, because I always have a million other projects going (crocheting afgans, gardening, gourding, sewing)& the big ones never get completed. I have had one huge one I began working on about 5 years ago & it still sits in my sewing basket waiting for me to return to it lol:)I love the idea of cross stiching a door screen. I have never thought of doing anything like that. Would love to see photos when you do get it finished:) Chrissy

don't know when i'll get it done. It started getting warm, so I had to put the screen back in the door....haha. so right now there's a half completed sunflower on the door. Oh well....it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who comes over. :rolleyes:
