Civil War Cross Stitch

Journaling reads - When my son entered high school he joined the ROTC. The summer before we had went to Pigeon Forge and found a Cross Stitch pattern for the Civil War. My son loved it so I bought it to make for him. I had been cross stitching since I was an early teen and thought oh this won't take me long. Well 6 years later and I finally got it done. It was very tedious with so many of the same colors but it is beautiful.

Wow, beautiful! I love it. Nice work.

I love it!! I haven't cross stitched in ages--but really liked doing it!! That's my problem, though!! I get too many things I like to do--then don't do any of them!!

Beautiful page and awesome cross stitching project. Love the combination fo blues and grays in the layout.

lol..been there done that...lol when you finally finished didn't you think "ok what do I do now?"..your finished work is awesome..love how you matted it with the worn frame..beautifully masculine lo..lovely cluster too

what a great layout. I love the colors and how you angled the wordart on the left. I have never cross-stiched but from the picture that is talent!

Neat story! Love the civil war feel and the diamond side border.
