Back in 1980 my sister-in-law introduced me to counted cross-stitch. I absolutely loved it and used to spend hours and hours working on it. At the time I was working full time outside the home as a secretary in city government. I was married with no children. I did many projects, but believe it or not, I gave the majority of them away (parents, sisters, brothers, friends, etc.). I do have one very beautiful project in my living room that I love (you'll see it in this collection....the one of the house).
Once my daughter came along (she is now 25 years old), I pretty much quit cross-stitching. There was always something to do as I became an at-home mom. My daughter is now living on her own, and I'm working at home as a Medical Transcriptionist. I work on cross-stitch as I have time.
The following pages are a few of the projects I've done since 1980. Some of the pictures are a little fuzzy because I didn't have a very good camera at the time.
