Cross Stitch WIPS

I started cross stitching when my children were little, and all three are grown up now.  The front porch design has probably been a WIP for 15 years!  Cross stitch is harder for me than it used to be, because my eyes are aging.  I might have to get some sort of magnifier.

 I like samplers because it's easy to keep track of where I am.

 I optimistically started this in the fall of 2009, with the goal of finishing it in 2010.  maybe 2011?

 Winter homestead scene.  This is on 22 count Aida, so I'm not sure if I will ever finish it. It's hard for me to see where to poke the needle.

 The beginning of a Welcome sign.  Its meant to fit into my wall hung coat hook rack, which has a place for a needlework design.  I filled it with a piece of fabric temporarily, (5 or 6 years ago!).

This is a design printed on even weave fabric.  It is meant to be embellished with cross stitch.  I was attracted to the kit, because it said quick and easy on the package.  Well, it's easy, but not really so quick!
