Cross Stitch

hi frnds...

I hav found another passtime at home...

To do cross stitch paaterns..

Cross stitch comes under various stutches of embroidery..

can make patterns or figures usin this stitch on cloth n so i tried the very basic ones...

here r few of them..

i hav used only cross mark stitch to do these pics,n a combination of coloured threads...
it took a day time for me to stitch one piece...these cloth pieces can b either framed or used as table cloths..n ppl can b worked on bed covers,pillow covers,cushion covers n so on...

these two pieces r my first attempt n i will continue to try various designs in future...

first is a pattern of a becky...

its close up pic...

secondly,its bunny with carrots...

as these two are very small,am plannin to frame them..the pics r taken b4 framin...bt ppl,i would say we will really need a whole sum of patience to this cross stitch patterns..as they r fully based on counts of the cross stitch...we got to count each n every stitch to continue the pattern,to get the exact design...once u start a piece,we got to finish it in time..else we will get confused with the stitches.. :) but a fantastic work to do...am juz enjoyin the work...i hope u also will give a try to them...

regards,

dharsh...
