Cross Stitches I made

 Made for our daughter Irene, to remember her semester abroad in college in Dublin, Ireland.

 Birthday gifts for my sister Karen in 2020.  Patterns by Lucie Heaton

 Made for our son Eli.  He played a penguin in a grade school play and we have given him penguins ever since.  Now he is a PhD in Physics, working in Boston.

Made for our son Allen and his wife Anna, who are Veterinarians living in Glasgow, Scotland.
 I made these two Santas, Williamsburg and Plymouth, when we lived in Prague in the Czech Republic.  One I made on a trip to Gdansk, Poland, a sea town, and the other in Barcelona, Spain, also a sea town.  The cutout in the middle is a souvenir we got as a gift in Old Town, Prague.

 This is a pattern I bought on Etsy called Pretty Little Paris.  I made Italy and London as well, and gave them to Allen and Anna.  




 Still in progress, January 2021.  Working on it in North Myrtle Beach, SC

For Sue and David, 2018

For Fran made in 1990s

For Mollie, started in 1990s and finished in 2018

Train for Clara, other two I need to remember who got them.  

Santa with Reindeer for Grandma Miller


This was our entire decorating for Christmas in Prague in 2018.  The two Santas on each side of the wooden cutout that Kim Merchant gave me, are Plymouth Santa and Williamsburg Santa.  I stitched one on a trip to Poland and the other on a trip to Barcelona.  I consider them my souvenirs from those trips.
