Cross Stitch


[Girl's Birth Sampler 21KB] Much of my cross-stitch work is commissioned to commemorate births, christenings, marriages, golden weddings and the like. Each design is unique and I try and incorporate motifs that have meaning to the family and event. Here, for example, is a simple sampler to commemorate a birth.
