• My Current Cross Stitch Project

    The design came from Donna-Koolers 555 Cross Stitch Sampler. I've chosen the flower design and have been posting my progress as I go. I started this in late March 2009.

  • This is the front cover of the book.

  • Picture of finished project...

  • Snapshots of my progress...

  • I ironed the fabric on this picture...

  • This is what I use to organize my floss.

  • My 4th cross stitch update...
