Crossstitch Creation

In and out of tiny holes the needle flows to create a picture with floss on a blank canvas cloth punctured with spaces in which the thread builds people or places by making little crosses patiently xed back and forth in a stupor awakened only by a change to another vibrant color. And then, aaah there ... its done ready to be framed and freely given from this exquisitely priceless space called creation.

I get it. I don't CrossStitch but I crotchet. My greatgrandmother taught me while we watched "Days of our lives". And I do it to this day. Very relaxing and a feeling of accomplishment when your done. Course all I make is scarves....

Good for you! I used to knit, but no more. Bet you have created some beauties. Nice to give as gifts! You created a piece of art from your piece of art! : ) Love, Shar
