Thursday 17 January 2013: Cross stitch sampler
It's another cold, icy morning and since I've got no reason to go out today I thought I would stay indoors in the warm - well after filling up all the bird feeders and putting out the rubbish, that is.
This cross stitch sampler was given to me as a present by a good friend and so, despite having arthritis in both hands, I set to to complete it. I'm glad I did - it didn't take long as it is only about 9cm square - and I liked that every quadrant was different. It now hangs in my hall with other examples of my handiwork and bits of artwork from other artists.
Finished! I had a hard time taking nice photos of it, but these will do. Maybe when the weather finally dries out, I'll try a few outside.
