Masthead Image

The counted cross-stitch image shown above is called Aunt Lucy's Place. It reminds my husband of  an old homestead where he spent many happy hours as a child. Designed by Linda Meyers and originally called Autumn at Sinking Creek, it now hangs in our dining room. View a larger image of Aunt Lucy's Place.

Counted Cross Stitch Baby Samplers

A sampler is another gift I enjoy giving to celebrate the arrival of a new baby. Most of them are stitched for family members - grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. Most are fairly detailed.
