| Elizabethan rose cross stitch design |
Just for the observant (and history geeks! LOL) this isn't quite a Tudor rose. The Tudor rose has a white inner rose with the red outer rose. On top of that, I just couldn't do red thistles like the book showed ... to my USA-born and raised eyes, thistle flowers should be a light purple/lavender color. The first thistle flower was a challenge, but they did get easier and faster to do.

Very well done, and, as far as I can tell, all the x's are crossed in the same direction. :)
gloria, ty but they don't all cross the same way. LOL I was doing good to keep it right-side-up around the border, and get the thistle flowers right!
Beautiful work!! I have the cross-stitch a bit abandoned, but it was mine for many years and all the pictures on the wall of my house are cross stitch, you have wonderful hands! Hey! I am looking forward for the hat ....
