It all started with a cross

It all started with a cross. Well, I assume that’s how all good love affairs begin. A cross here and there. To be honest I can’t remember how it started. But for as long as I can remember I have been cross stitching. Nothing fancy. Just some good old fashioned crosses. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the fancy types. I have tried them all over the years. Long stitch, embroidered flowers, herringbone, whitework. But my happy place is always back in the comfort of a cross.
