One of my first attempts in cross-stitch. Back then (my guess, about 20 years ago) I knew nothing about DMC or Aida or linen or stitch-count... This was some design from a German Burda magazine stitched on what I could found - napkins set. I stitched 2 over 4 (result is 14 ct.) and everything was strategically placed. I am proud of myself :)
Need to wash and iron them. I may even use them as intended.
Wow! You did a great job. No one would EVER know it was your first project!
ReplyDeleteI love that you will use them. We SHOULD use our stitching, not just lock it away in the drawer or cupboard.
So charming! I love hand stitched linens. My great grandmother stitched on everything. I can still see my pillowcases with the little ladies on them. I wish I still had them.
