Shabbat Shalom Cross Stitch


Shabbat Shalom Cross Stitch

This is counted cross stitch created from my own design. Back in the 1990s, I created several cross-stitch patterns using a computer program called PC Stitch. Then I used the pattern to create this piece of embroidery. Yesterday I was looking through one of my photo albums and came across a snapshot of it. So tonight, I scanned the photo into the computer. In the photo, the piece was still in the embroidery hoop, but off-center. No matter how I cropped the image, I couldn't get a pleasing layout because of the embroidery hoop. So finally I opened the image in Painter and covered up the embroidery hoop with a little bit of cut and paste.
