Cross Stitch Samples
Webster Dictionary defines cross stitch as a stitch made by crossing two stitches to form an "X". It is commonly used in many types of ethnic handwork.

Diane's Home   (19"x25"x1")
Suzi was given this unfinished piece that had been made from a kit. The kit came with some coloration to which beautiful cross stitching was already added. Suzi added two borders and then finished it in the "Suzi's Hang Art" method. The finishing is as easy as 1-2-3-Done. The actual framing process took less than 30 minutes.

Experience    (12"x15"x1")
This is a great reminder about life which is hanging on Suzi's wall. How many pieces of cross stitch do you have that could be quickly finished up in this artistic framing method.

Hmong Counted Cross-stitch    (18"x18"x1")
Suzi was hired on a grant from WSU to teach the Hmongs how to better represent their art work with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. This is a beautiful hand-stitched piece that was done in the refugee camp. All pieces are treated with a stain resistant product.

Sampler in Blue    (17"x25"x1")
Suzi created this cross stitched sampler in 1977 from a 2" picture of an 18th century piece. This was one of her wide variety of art forms prior to being "bitten" by the quilting bug in 1978. Suzi finished it with the "Suzi's Hang Art" method. This is a nice way to display cross stitch art.

Winter   (9"x12"x1")
This was a garage sale find, another unfinished treasure for 25¢. Suzi finished it with the "Suzi’s Hang Art" method. The simple addition of the slim red border just completes the art piece. How you finish your handwork will have a great influence as to whether it will be passed onto future generations.
