CROSS STITCHING...In the Shade of Love...

CROSS STITCHING...In the Shade of Love...


This is a cross stitching done by me. 

Cross-stitch is a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture. 

Cross-stitch is often executed on easily countable evenweave fabric called aida cloth. But, here I used a frame. 

We have to count the threads in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance. 
This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch.

To customize it I just left one portion of the thread free instead of stitching. In final outcome it gave a 3D result.



Try it. It really needs patience  and composure to a great extent. But, once you complete one, you will really love it. 

Since my wall is ivory in color, I gave a black frame for it.  

Try doing one and enjoy the fun. 

Framed and hanged...
