Hi Shanti!

Those two sites are real good. How old is your daughter. Your post reminds me of my school days abt 12 yrs back when I was in high school and I too used to learn different stitches from my mom and granny during each vacation. It was in my 8th standard that I made myself some embroidery on my salwar kameez.

cheers
Pranuthi

Hi chitra,
I also love doing cross stitch, but for last some yrs i've not done it but will start a bedsheet, with all over work on it.
I have made many photo frames on stiff matti and it has turned out very well.
I've done it with wool.
You also try it.
bye,and do revert back.

Default Embroidery : Cross Stitch Patterns

Hello ILs,

Does any of you have a cross stitch pattern for a choo choo train (toy train)? I want to cross stitch this pattern on a pillow for my friend's son who will start going to kindergarden soon. Any help will be appreciated :)

thank you so very much for that pattern Sunkan! :) It is really good...Do you also have a pattern for a train with engine and passanger compartments or just a pattern for passanger compartments? that way I can make a complete train :) :)
