A couple weeks ago as I was taking my decorations down I gathered these up. I thought they would make a nice Show & Tell.
My sister cross-stitched these as baby presents for me. She gave them to me matted, framed, and ready to hang.
The bunny one is for my son, the oldest. The butterfly one is for my second child and oldest daughter. It has their full names [that I blurred], birth date and weight.
I’ve seen several people walk closer and look at them because they thought they were paintings.
I’ve always loved personalized things because my name is unique. I think my children will each treasure these for years to come.
Just click the graphic at the top of this post to see more Show & Tell participants.

I love your cross-stitches! My mom made some personalized cross-stitches for my boys when they were born. They are proudly displayed in their rooms!

Very nice work. How fun to have a sister that did this for you. I loved the cross-stitchings my daughter did for me.

Those are beautiful! I have just started cross-stitching again after having laid it aside for several years. I love the beauty and the detail.
