I have taught my youngest sons girl friend to do cross stitching and a little embroidering . She really likes it. She use to stand behind me and watch me. I showed her one time how to crochet but she did not like doing that to much. But she really likes the needle point. She is like a daughter to me. I have 2 boys so it is so nice to have a fun girl around and some one to sit and sew along with me! I heard her telling her friend on the phone about it. She sounded so excited! Her first project is pot holders that I ordered her from Hershnerrs.
