I loved teddy bears and went through a phase of stitching lots of bears.
Then I discovered these patterns called All Our yestyerdays, and they were designs of children from yesterday year. Well I fell in love with those and I stitched quite a few.
Most were little boy designs as I had 3 little boys myself. I don't do cross stitch much anymore as I discovered stitchery and patchwork so that has kind of taken over. I still like to look back at the crafts I used to do all those years ago.
What did you do before you started patchwork?

I was a cross-stitcher too! I've only recently posted about that with lots of photos of what I made.
They are lovely cushions! I can't remember life before quilting but I did do a lot of different things. toy making, card making, calligraphy, watercolour painting.
I did lots of cross-stitching too - and still do a little of it. I love it, but quilting is my passion right now. I am working on a cross-stitch santa's sleigh for our new grandson's Christmas stocking.
I was a X-Stitcher too - many large and small projects:) One of lifes little joys that gave way when my children came along (too busy and was quite worried about needles and little fingers)
Leanne....love your cushions...its funny how we have all dabbled in other crafts...
Gorgeous ones Leanne. I had my needle up this week first time for couple of weeks. Made a Taddy Teddy baby sampler for my siters nipper girl Neeta. Lovely it was, mayby I will get myself sorted to do some more.
