Does anyone do needlepoint or counted cross stitch? I love both and have done so many. Have sort of taken a break form doing them the last couple of years but I'm starting to get the "bug" again, so may start up. All the lovely projects you all have shown on here have inspired me to get busy again.

I absolutely love to do counted cross stitch. I actually won first place in my class last fall at the state fair. I was so pleased! I now have two more that I am going to enter this year. I hope you do start up again--it is such a productive hobbie! Good luck,

LD :)

Who is your favorite designer? I think mine is Marilym Leavitt Imblum, her designs are sold through Lavender and Lace. Love her angels, I've done 2 of them and her Forest Santa. Maybe I'll post one of the angels,the other one I gave to my daughter, my santa still is waiting to be framed.Framing is So expensive now, but when you spend so much time on a project you want a good job.

Hope you win again this year ---would love for you to share pictures of your entries.

Here is the post I made of my winnings :)

My favorite designer is CA Zittel of The Drawn Thread. I love how her designs include different stitches other than just x-stitch. I would love to see some of your work--if you can please post some pictures.

I agree with the framing costs--they are astronomical!
