Cross Stitching is both relaxing and rewarding
I am amazed at the cross-stitch projects I have seen people make. Some simple to complete intricate works of art.
I remember my mother and my grandmother teaching me how to cross stitch when I was in elementary school. It all starts with an “x”. Simple patterns and multi-colored embroidery thread. I remember the hues of colors and wanting the brightest rainbow thread available even if I didn’t have a project for it.
The art of cross stitch is centuries old
The simple art of needle work and creating imagery in cloth that has been passed down generation by generation. Hidden in a box somewhere in the attic I have a Ukrainian folk art outfit with black and red cross stitch designs. I always loved the simplicity and beauty of that pattern. No matter the country you live in or your age you have seen and can enjoy the simplistic and elegant art form of cross stitch.

In an ever evolving world technology it seems can modernize just about everything. You can now purchase a machine that will do your cross stitch or embroidery for you. This I feel takes away the relaxing element of cross stitch and forms embroidery and cross stitch into a more business element.
If you are looking into crafting business you can start around your family’s schedule this embroidery machine maybe something you are interested in. Embroidery businesses do cross stitch designs on wedding napkins, monograms on towels and all sorts of designs on different fabrics. Cross stitch designs are highly requested during wedding season.
