Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I decided to give myself a challenge while I am stitching my other WIPs, UFOs, SALs, etc.... one of my other cross-stitching group is offering lessons on different specialty stitches such as Diamond eyelet, English stitch, lazy daisy, etc..... It will be a sampler when done. It is actually fun to learn.

Very cute so far!!!!!

That does sound like fun to learn different stitches! Your work so far is very nice.

The light doesn't show the initial very well but I wanted to show what I do when I go "green" in our family. The initial "A" is for my grandson, Austin, and there is a dinosaur next to it. I stitched the initial onto a brand new bath towel. The birthday gift is inside the bath towel with jute strings tied at each end of the towel. Since there are 7 May birthdays in our family, I am stitching each birthday person's initial onto a bath towel ....to wrap around their gifts.
