Rose Cross Stitched Quilt

Rose Cross Stitch Quilt

Hurrah! I finished a long overdue project started sometime around 2001 or 2002. It won't win any blue ribbons, full of flaws, wrinkles, mismatched seams. I don't care. It's finished.


Trouble approves of his new bed covering.


Each block took about 40 hours for me to cross stitch. I got sick of looking at it and put it away for a couple of years, but ya'know how those UFO's haunt you. So I chipped away at it off and on. This year with a new burst of dedication to completion, I started working on adding the batting and backing. (the home stretch!) It wasn't coming together, very frustrating, but I worked thru it instead of quitting, and finally finished it .
