Adventures in Cross-Stitch

So....one day in late 2017 a friend who knew I embroidered asked if I could teach her homeschool class a lesson in cross-stitch. I had never done cross-stitch and didn't know anything about it except that it involved floss, a needle, and some kind of cloth. Knowing there were Youtube videos available about every subject in the world, I said yes and figured I could learn enough about it to teach 10-year-olds. And that's what I did. It was so much fun that I spent the next year or so doing nothing but cross-stitch. 

The story of the orange cat cross stitch deserves special mention. Mary Ellen's daughter Eve gave me a drawing she had made as a thank you for the nightgown I had made for her. I thought it was so special that I cross-stitched it as a gift for her. I'm so proud of our collaborative art piece!
