My Very First Cross Stitch Project

Stitched by Connie G. Barwick

This is the project that started it all for me. It is a stamped design that an older cousin started and I finished.

I was in the second grade, so I was about eight years old. I barely remember stitching the design, but I do know that is was my first Cross Stitch Project. My mother saved it for many years in her cedar chest and had it framed for me when I was moving out on my own. It hangs with pride in my bedroom, a little faded, but a Cross Stitch design to treasure nonetheless.
