Stitching Daze: Cross Stitch Finishes

**PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!**
.
My First Ever Finish! In high-school Home-Ec class:

I put an 'A' on it for my baby sister - first project and I had to add/change things...

Large Finishes (5x7 and up):

'Siamese' from a Leisure Arts booklet. The first thing I started (and finished, boy those days didn't last long!) when I started stitching again.

Garden Bunnies - a free pattern from a website. Free Patterns dot com?
My second start/finish

From an untitled Gloria&Pat book. My third start/finish, with colors and text changed to be an anniversary prezzie for my parents

The Lord's Prayer: I started this kit back in High School, and finished it years later. My fourth finish.

a Dimensions kit. I no longer kept track of my finishes, unfortunately, so from now on they are in no particular order.

Home Is Where The Cat Is. The floss colors didn't quite match the picture, but still cute!

Precious Moments 'Oh HOW I Love Jesus' to go with 'His Burden is Light'. I left the words off and will stitch my father's name, instead.

A Lizzie*Kate I stitched for my Brother - It said 'Dad' but I changed it,

I found this in a really old book and did it up for my brother, also.

And this one is also for my brother. He used to live in Georgia. Think that's my sis in the reflection. I need a better picture of this one.
