Colorful Cross Stitch Sampler

Although I love embroidery, crewel, and needlepoint, I think my favorite hand sewing technique is cross stitch ~ a perfect project to undertake while sitting under a warm throw watching a TV movie.

For me cross stitching is like an art piece ~ starting with a clean canvas and slowly seeing the colors and patterns develop.

From this~

to this~ 

I used to enjoy stitching on small count (22pt) Aida as in these projects:

Now I find, even with reading glasses, it is much easier to work with a larger 16pt. 
I love the various fonts used in this pattern by nerdylittlestitcher, and the bright colors added a cheerful feeling to my wall.

Happy Stitching! ♥
