rising-flame Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else in here does cross-stitching. I find it really theraputic and my psycologist told me to make sure i try and do some everyday to help me relax. I'm in the middle of stitching a load of squares to make a quilt which i'm going to give to our local women's refuge.
Bareenfan Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Yes, I quite enjoy it, I also do quilting, with oddments from old clothes and old pieces of curtains, so they are sort off keepsakes as well.
lolajaney Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I do Cross Stitch and latch Hook. I have done CS for about 8 yeaars and haave times I go mad on it and times I don't. I tend to buy CS online at Black Sheep Wools and get what is in their sale as some offline is so expensive.
Pierced Musie Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 My Ma used to be cross-stitch crazy, as was I. Unfortunately eyesight has put a stop to it
solaris Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I enjoy cross-stitch, I'm currently working on a panther one.

That's interesting, my therapist suggested that I take up some sort of crafting for the same reason. I do a lot of baking (a lot of baking, especially for a house with only 3 people - we often have cake coming out of our ears!) but was thinking of trying a paint by numbers or something like that. I had a go at cross-stitch when I was younger but I was rubbish at it, the squares ended up swimming before my eyes so I always messed it up!
rachel&kim Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 I do an INSANE amount of cross stitching, mostly flower fairies, but I just finished an enormous tapestry of the alphabet with an animal for each letter wound round the letters. ANYWAY, back to the point, I also do it for therapy reasons. I was told to find a hobby to take my mind off other (bad) hobbies and this was the one that stuck. And I find it really relaxing. And yours is for a good cause which is even more comendable.
bay girl Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I used to do it a lot when i was younger. I'd really like to get back into; as i enjoyed it quite a lot.
Mez83 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 I do it. I'm in the middle of doing names for 2 of my cousins Xmas presents.
