More cross stitch

Here is some more of my projects. This framed one was done by me about 5 years ago and it adorns a wall of my living room. The matching cushion covers are still in the process of being done. I came across this in a craft magazine. Your comments are welcome.


Here is a lovely quote:

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves - Amelia Earhart

Cross stitch and roses

There was a time I loved to stitch roses. I used to search for cross stitch patterns of roses. I stitched a few and presented them to friends and relatives. Now there are 2 in my possession. One is a cushion cover, the background is black. Here they are.

My mother who is 84 has come to stay with me. She was very good at crochet. I was able to learn crochet from her, but am not as good as her.

My projects

Hi

Thanks to Deepa and Rosalie for their comments and advice. I have had a very busy 3 months. I visited India in the beginning of August. We were in Chennai. Had an enjoyable time shopping and sight seeing. We spent 7 days there. My workload too was heavy.

Here are some of my projects. The strawberry one is for a cushion cover. The one on the right, is it tulips or daffodils? Whatever it is I stitched a few of those for a table cloth which I have not yet completed. I will be posting pictures of my other projects very soon. Wish everyone peace and happiness.
