With encouragement from Lori (rvgrammy1953), I'm posting my first counted cross stitch embroidery project. Some suggested I start with small pre-printed projects. Unfortunately I'm too impatient for that. On to a major project! Lori says I'm her "first" student. She was kind enough to put a photo of my son, Joshua, through her computer program to produce a pattern. The actual embroidery took 31 days averaging 7 1/2 hours per day. I'm not patient enough to take my time with any art projects which is what necessitated my finishing it as soon as possible. I prefer this embroidery to be viewed from a little distance so the colors blend.

Wow, Sandi! Beautiful! You jumped in with both feet as far as I'm concerned and did a wonderful job. I never liked the preprinted projects.

Good and patient work. I know that it will mean a lot to you. Now we know what Lori can share at her next gtg'ers.......

Oh wow, Sandi!! That is awesome! I don't have the patience to do any kind of embroidery, knitting, crochet...any of that stuff. What a woman! Lori, great job in getting her started and helping! Your son was beautiful, just like his mom.

You did such a great job, Sandi.....

I'm so proud of you....

Beautiful job Sandi. My sister was the same way, she would just go for it when learning a new craft. The size of the project didn't bother her, she figured she could learn doing the project she wanted just as easily as a beginner project. I hope that isn't your last project. Linda
