Embroidery

I like to do counted cross stitch embroidery.  This is embroidery where you use a fabric that has a grid-like weave.  There is no design on the fabric and you work from a graph, putting one stitch in each of the grid squares on the fabric to correspond to the graph.  All of the projects below are counted cross stitch.  Some of them took months to complete, others were done in a weekend.  Some are already matted and framed, others have not even been cleaned and blocked yet and live rolled in a tube until I have the time and energy (and place to hang them) to get them done.  These projects are 14 or 18 stitches per inch.
