Chookyblue has organised a Cross Stitch display with about 26 bloggers displaying their samplers and cross stitches. I was an avid cross stitcher when my children were little, I guess the minute they were playing nicely or having a nap, I'd sit and cross stitch. I don't seem to have the time now and my eyesight isn't good enough to do it at night. I hope you enjoy my patterns. The sweet one above (Sarah's Friends) was worked in 1991 for my daughter Kirby.

This is one of my favourites (and I see that Chookyblue has it too!). Stitched on 18 count Aida, there is a lot of work in it.

This one was stitched in 1990 BC (before children). My first big cross stitch.
~

~

This is probably my most favourite one. Each quilt panel is different - I love the colours. It hangs in my bedroom.
~

~

I love the verse.
~

This was stitched for Brianna in 1996.
~

~

This one is undated. Cute bunnies!
~

~

There is a lot of work in this one too. It was worked in 1993.
~

I also did one similar to this with teddies lined up and this was gifted to a friend who admired it.
~

This one hangs in our hallway.
~

~

This cottage hangs in our study. Probably the second big cross stitch I did. I am very proud of it.
~

~

Our previous house had a blue and yellow kitchen so when I saw this pattern for blue and white china, I just had to do it. Another favourite.
~

All the back stitching nearly did me in, there was so much detail~
~
I have some more unframed ones stashed away so will try and find them, press them up and get them on screen tomorrow.
~
Thanks, Chooky! This has been a fun and interesting blog-along!

Cheers - Joolz
