| Step one done, I have about 215 if I counted right, a few more than needed, but that's ok they'll come in handy for something. |

| Chookyblue has been posting about cross stitching and invited others to participate, so I finally got some pictures taken. This was the first large cross stitch that I made. My daughter was about sixteen and learned at church and taught me so we both made one of these. This one is in my dining room above my dry sink. |
 |
| This pattern is one of my favorites, and I think that I made 3 or 4 of them. Unfortunately, one was a wedding one, and the marriage didn't last so it has probably been discarded years ago. Mine is on a wall between the living room and dining room. |
 |
| I love the style of this series and made 3 different ones. I would have made more if I had found more patterns. I loved the style and the sentiments. This one seemed appropriate for the dining room also. |

| DH had a broken leg back in the early to mid nineties and had about 10 surgeries and lots of problems before it finally healed. this is just a small cross stitch that I got to work on while I waited for some of his surgeries. He went to a hospital out of town and so it was just he and I and it passed the time. I keep it in my kitchen between the bottom and top cupboards. |
 |
| These last 2 are in my bedroom. I made 2 or 3 of the Love One Another ones, not sure if the other(s) are still around, but mine is one of my favorites. |

| This one is over DH's dresser. I have my two favorites plus a couple more small ones to share maybe tomorrow. If you like cross stitch visit Chookyblue, there are hers to look at plus links to many others who are sharing theirs. |

I remember when I used to cross stitch. That was before quilting. Unfortunately, quilting changed all that. I like quilting better, Your projects look great!
The first step of RRCB looks great. I hope you find something fun to do with the extras. Love your cross stitcheries. I used to do cross stitch, but it's not as fun to snuggle up under as quilts. I think I still have a couple of half finished ones stashed in a cupboard somewhere.
Beautiful! I love all the saying! Certainly a lot of love shows in your stitching. I'm working on a redwork/bluework project. I hope to have it finished by Jan. I love sitting and doing handwork. Are you still cross stitching?
Cross stitch adds such touch to any home.
Your designs are lovely and it is good to see them frames...........
I really like the style of the sayings that you've made in cross stitch. I used to do lots, but then like some of your other commenters, I discovered patchwork and quilting and embroidery, so haven't done any cross stitch for ages. I've got a big roll of cross stitch fabrics though, so I ought to do some one of these days.
I love to cross-stitch as well. These are very pretty!
beautiful..........thanks for sharing your work........I am inspired to get back into my cross stitch........
Your step one of the mystery looks great. As soon as those turkey leftovers are cold, I'm going to pull fabrics and get started on mine. Love your cross stitcheries.
Ah yes....also used to cross-stitch before I learned a true craft (quilting) :0) Lovely displays of your cross-stitchings...
Happy to see you are sewing the mystery too! Love your cross stitched projects! I am one that gave up cross stitch when I found quilting. I have some of those UFO's somewhere here...
I did not realize you cross stitched too. I use to do it pre-genealogy. I need to try to do both. Yours are beautiful. I esp. like the family tree ones. Very talented. Wish I lived closer to you so you could teach me to quilt. You should go to facebook and check out the Genea-Quilters page. It is genealogists who also quilt. Pat Richey does it.
