Show and Tell: Cross-Stitch

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday. To read more, please visit Kelli at There is No Place Like home.

Today, I'd like to show you several cross-stitch items that I have made for my home over the years. This is just a sampling of my work, as I have given much more away than I have kept! We have very few traditional pictures hanging in our home. Most of what is on our walls is handmade.

You may click on any of the images to enlarge them.





This first garden sampler hangs in my laundry room.











I originally made this for my kitchen when we lived in another home. It now hangs in my dining room.








As does this,








And this.












And this!












This sampler hangs in my kitchen.










These make their home in the living room, and look like they need to be straightened!











This picture is a real conversation piece. Everyone loves it. It hangs outside the children's bathroom.






I just made this last year. Verne didn't know what I was working on until I had it framed and hung it. He was tickled that after 17 years, I made a marriage sampler for us. Isn't it funny how a small gesture can touch someone?







I'm thankful that my husband blesses me by praising the work of my hands. He's always thrilled to see me working on things that make our house our home. I've taught both of our girls to cross stitch as well. We also have several pieces from them displayed in our home.

I haven't stitched anything since last year, but I have all of the material for a beautiful large sampler. That's a project for the winter. Thanks for visiting me today!
