Cross Stitch Photos

Here are a few pictures of the cross stitch I wrote about last week that I am working on for my dad. The completed design is an example of what it will look like. The small corner is all I have done so far, and the other photo is the complicated pattern. It is the most unusual one I have done so far. You use 2-4 strands of thread for each square and use 1-2 colors per square. It makes for a pretty effect w/ the blended colors, but for some reason takes longer to do. Also, shading around the man w/ the eagle is only a one way stitch and does not double back to make an “x.” It’s going to take a long time, but should be pretty when it’s done.
