I Made That: Cross Stitch

These are most of the pieces I've made over the last 20 or so years. I continue to make them as gifts for family and friends, and friends' kiddos (see below for who each one was given to). Right now I am actually working on one for myself, for the first time ever!

• Fox, kingfisher, pig, giraffe, hedgehog, bear, and owl - friends Dorothy, Jonah & son

• Roll Tide (Alabama Crimson Tide) - Jason & Erin

• Quote and Day of the Dead skulls - friend Josh

• Black and white swans - my parents, for their 40th anniversary

• Rainbow Rochester skyline - friends Tanya, Scott & son

• Beatrix Potter growth chart - friends Alexa, Jon & daughters

• World map with animals - friends Sally, David & son

• Beatrix Potter washing line - friends Jeff, Michele & daughter

• Sun and moon girls - my older niece

• Alphabet butterflies - my younger niece

• Four environmental awareness squares, small Rochester skyline, Peter Rabbit, and spooky owl - all for RoCo 6x6 exhibit (different years)

• Scubadiver - friends Sally, David & son

July 2021 update: Finally finished and got framed the piece I was making for myself.

May 2022 update: Rainbow ROC logo 6x6 piece for RoCo; ROC skyline for my friend Julie.
