On Saturday night my good friend Renae came over for dinner and some craft. You see, Renae has been bitten by the cross stitch bug, actually, more than bitten, I would say more like gobbled up by it! She has many projects on the go at once (don't we all) but what impressed me most was how quickly she gets her stitching done!
I was lucky enough to see a couple of her pieces, and I took some photos so I could show you all too.
This cute little possum (I hope) is a native Australian cross stitch. Renae spent hours trying to figure out how to make the French knots for his eyes!
This masterpiece is a gift for Renae's Grandmother for Mothers Day. I love this piece ssooooo much! Can you see all the cute little quilt blocks?
I have one very clever friend!

Oh my goodness! That one with the quilt blocks and the grandchildren's names is FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeletevery nice work. I saw a pillow the other day that was cross stitch and I thougt the pattern would look good made as a sampler quilt. One of these days, I am going to have to do one, cw
