Here are the last two cross stitch pieces I did back in 2001 thru 2002 while riding on the truck my hubby drive all over the US. Yes, I did cross stitcih these while bouncing thru many a state during the year it took me to complete them and holding my old toy poodle across my left arm as well. He wouldn't ride any other place, but luckily he wasn't very squirmy and it went well with my needlework.
I made these two for my pen pal I have known through letters since 1977. She lives in Oregon and the horse in each one I created to look like her two paints from photos I had of them I took when we got to meet her in person in 2001 for the 1st time. My hubby had a Coors beer load we picked up in Golden, Colorado we delivered to a distributor in Portland, Oregon. My pen pal lives about 30 miles from Portland in Boring, OR.
The 1st one of the paint running through a desert scene was her favorite horse. The desert scene was a pattern I bought, then created the horse with the paint pattern to match my friend's horse and cross stitched it into the scene. I also created the sky clouds to look like a horse rearing up instead of using the clouds the pattern originally had. Of course she loved that the horse was a replica of her own named Gypsy. I chose the desert scene for this horse because my friend Debbie had always wished she could have open areas to ride in instead of the heavily forested country she was raised up in around Oregon.
The 2nd pic I took a horse head pattern I bought and changed the colors to match her other paint which I can't remember the name of now. Then I took and drew on the material the pine, spruce and fir tree limbs I enbroidered to look like they were coming from above the horse head. I left the rest of the background the natural pale blue color and not stitched. I did add snow flakes you can barely see in this pic falling about since they do get a bit of snow up there. The frames you can see around the edge of both pics is also my own creation cross stitched on the material.
I stitched the edges down and fringed the material around in a natural look and used a couple of Mesquite limbs to hang each one from rather than framing. My idea was to create a very natural look for the horses to reside on. Debbi loved them both very much. Now both horses have passed on over the Rainbow Bridge frolicking with other horses and pets waiting for the day their loved ones here on earth can join them. Both of these were 12"X18" size I think. They were not small and I had to work diligently to get them finished & sent by Aug. 30th which was her birthday.
Wished the pics were better and more clear. These were taken in 2002 after I fininished both pieces and the pixels were not the best on the camera we had. I've lightened both up a bit, but that is the extent of my photo touch up I know how to do.
Welcome!
We don't offer C2C as a feature at this time, as it's currently in development. Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame as to when it will become available, but please keep watching for it!
Thanks Melanie!
This one lasted 5 days ... this morning seems to be better ... so far ... I pray it remains that way for a LONG time!!! LOL.
Silvertiger,
That's outstanding how you went from loom knitting to hand knitting in such a short time! Do you have a
preference? Is one easier than the other, or are both the
same to you now?
I did some loom knitting many years ago. I had a loom that made Barbie dresses. LOL, really, all it did was turn out tubes, but it was nice to have a way to make doll dresses! Anyway, I finally learned knitting with needles some years after that. Now I can't get back into the looming!
Ha ha, maybe it's time to make
some doll dresses. 
this was ordered for a little girl who's wish was to
swim with dolphins but sadly she never got her wish as she died 3
months after i'd made this in 2002
