There was always going to be one day when I would have to jump into my first big cross-stitch, the one where I wouldn't follow a pattern printed on a piece of fabric, the one where I wouldn't use a very stiff wide-meshed piece of fabric. The first true piece in a word.
Mine was a surprise for my mum, for her 43rd birthday. It was on linen and from the very first stitch, I knew I would never be able to use Aida fabric ever again. It was also quite old-fashion, only using beige and dark red. It became my favourite type of cross-stitching, easy, traditional and quite stunning when finished.
