New Pinkeep

I really have been enjoying cross stitching, My latest project I was even able to stitch on 18 count
aida cloth. I don't know if I will ever be able to master stitching on linen or osanburg. It is
hard for me to see the tiny squares.  I am finding
that cross stitching can be addicting and relaxing.

  I want to show some of the pinkeeps and stitcheries that I have completed so far.

Love your cross stitched pinkeeps!

I just recently found out about something called waste canvas. You use it to stitch on linens and fabrics that are hard to see the holes! I'd love to try it out someday.

This blog has a tutorial, though I am sure there are others you can find through a google search. http://sewsweetviolet.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/my-first-tutorial-cross-stitching-on.html

My gosh, your needle has been flying! Wonderful finishes Lecia. I have several 30 count linen kits that I bought, thinking I'd stitch them up, but I'm going to have to invest in a magnifier of some kind to stitch them, I can't see the darn things!
