At the Fair and Square (Cross-Stitch) Exchange, my swap partner, Susan, made me these beautiful squares. I really like the two toned cranberry color she used. I am yet to decide what I will make out of these squares. Maybe a wall hanging? Thanks Susan!
For Susan, I stitched a pattern out of Cross-Stitch Designs from India by Carol Phillipson. If you are into cross-stitch, this is a beautiful book--it has very intricate and wonderful India-inspired designs.
I decided to make the design one solid color and of course, it had to be red. Bright red. Its amazing how fast the pattern works up when you dont have to change colors. In the beginning, I was not very confident that it would end up looking appealing...but eventually, it did.
