Dina's Projects

Post by dinagriff »

I'm new around here, recently picking up cross-stitch again after a 20-year break. I didn't have any supplies left from my previous cross-stitch life so I've been building a stash.
I had coupons at Michaels so I was able to pick up my DMC skeins for 28 cents each. I now have enough thread and fabric to complete the projects listed at the bottom of this thread.
Here is my new stash (all purchased for less than $100):

Here is my stitchin' chair - it faces my tv and my computer screen so I can watch Netflix On Demand (Murder She Wrote, Season 3):

Here is my current WIP (Mill Hill Schoolhouse). I am going to turn it into a mini-quilt wall hanging for my office:

And a close-up:

My upcoming projects include:
The First Kiss Bookmark - Cross Stitch Collectibles
Under The Tree - Little House Needleworks
A Love Song - FourOaks Designs
Keep Me Sampler - Moira Blackburn
New England Sampler - Brenda Keyes

I hope to be a regular contributor around here. I've been inspired by many of your projects and am looking forward to getting to know everyone.
