Counted Cross Stitch Magnets / Ornaments .... Vintage Things Thursday


Jt's that wonderful time of week again..Vintage Things Thursday. So lets all scamper on over to Suzanne
at ColoradoLady
and see what all the participants are showing..
Look what I found in one of my larger boxes of vintage fabrics and trims. I found some of my cross stitch fabric, cross stitch materials..and some of my cross stitch. These are put into tiny frames and used as either Christmas ornaments..or note magnets. The tallest one is 2" high, and they are made on 22 count Hardanger and 14 count Aida cloth. I have 2 more that are unfinished, so I need to get that done..and to clean these. To do more..I will probably have to have a magnifier. I know these aren't "really back in the day", but they're about 15 years old. I hope that's vintage enough..

  6. You sure do nice neat stitches. I remember doing some of those and I too would have to use a LARGE magnifing glass to do them now. Boy they do bring back sweet memories.

  9. I would say they are vintage--don't see teeny little cross stitch like those anymore. Very cute. Isn't it great going through boxes.

  14. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I absolutely LOVE Sunbonnet Sue and have a Sunbonnet Sue quilt from the early 40's. I also made one for my niece when she was born about 23 years ago. Have you seen the quilt patterns with Sunbonnet Sue in all kinds of dastardly situations (don't remember the name of the pattern)? I saw that once at a quilt show and I loved it. PAM

  16. If you want the whole set maybe you need to get busy & finish them before your eyes get too old! I had to give up CC, too hard to see anymore!
