Cross stitch ornament


Carolyn really got me going with the cross stitch module. Inspired by the red and gold heart designs I came up with this - used the traditional methods of decoration and it looks (and feels) like the real McCoy. It stitched out beautifully even with the unforgiving material I used - a piece of reflective curtain cloth.
Size is 86 x 126 mm (3.39"x4.96").

I love it! Sure looks like the real deal. I love the elegant simplicity of the design you digitized. I use to love to hand cross stitch until my eyes didn't like those tiny stitches. I've never tried a ME cross stitch design. I think because most look so dense and use a zillion colors. LOL

Thanks for sharing with us! Excellent work and you're so blessed with talent!

You make digitizing sound so easy to Xstitch, but this pattern you have done is marvilous.

I hardly ever used that part of the software, I'd rather do those designs by hand, but it gives nice results. I played around with one design but might have a go at more.

Cross stitch is really the easy part, it's like colouring in the square of mm-paper, but faster. Left click another cross stitch, right click and it's removed. I did not use a picture, just started with a heart, added the yellow, duplicated andmirrorred, then added a heart left and right , couple of extra yellow and that's it.
