This was a project I just completed for the shop. I must say it is not for the faint of heart. It was one of those 6 month projects that you work on here and there. This craft is called cross-stitch and basically it involves making little X’s with thread on a blank piece of linen. The thread is hand dyed and is simply beautiful–Simply Shaker! The pattern is called “Blessings and Kind Wishes” by Blackbird Designs. A good project for sitting in your favorite chair on a cold winter night with a fire in the hearth. ahhh…
Don’t forget that just because a craft is old and can look very country, you can always put a modern spin on it. Check this modern project out!
