What Was I Thinking?

The last time I did a cross stitch piece on black I promised I would never do it again. A very dear friend got married, what 3 years ago and I am still struggling with her wedding sampler. Naturally I had to do it on black.......................

It is an easy piece to do. I did it on light green overdyed linen for my niece several years ago.

I thought if I showed you a picture taken this morning, I could just snap another one each day to show progress so far........ I figure it takes about one hour to do a 10 x 10 grid so you can see I have quite some time left to work on this piece.

    Just make sure you have VERY good light - like one of those headlamps they've been talking about on the stashbuster list. Or work on it only in the daylight. You are braver than I am LOL!

    Yes, crosstitching takes quite a looong time, moreover on a black background ! But I'm sure you'll make it, and it will be gorgeus ! Maybe taking it as a one-hour a day project, would be easier for you ?

    But you know she will love it and really appreciate the time and effort it required.

    Wow, you are one brave soul. I used to do lots of x-stitch (and I do mean lots) and then quilting took over. Last year I tried to work on a linen project and realized that my eyes were not what they used to be.

    Enjoy!
