Here is another one of my cross stitch charts that I have digitized. The PDF contains both a color chart as well as a symbol chart. I worked this cross stitch design up on 14 count Aida cloth. The grid size is 113 stitches wide by 103 stitches high. If worked on 14 count cloth, the finished design is 5.07 inches by 4.21 inches, making the design 71 stitches by 59 stitches.
While going through my homemade cross stitch graphs, I came across this poem which was given to me 25 years ago .when I was stationed in Hong Kong while serving in the U.S. Navy. I received this poem on May 15, 1985 while praying for those I knew who had not yet received Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Title: The Invitation
Grid Size: 150W x 210H
Design Area: 9.14″ x 13.43″ (128 x 188 stitches)
The Invitation
Stop longing and seeking
For that which you’ve sought
It’s here and it’s yours
And it cannot be bought.
For it’s paid for in full
On the cross of Calvary,
And I give it to you
And your whole family.
All that is required
Is that you believe.
Then ask Me to fill you
And then you’ll receive.
No one who asks
Shall be given a stone,
No one who seeks
Shall ever be alone.
I am reaching out to you!
O what will you say?
Will you let Me love you?
Or will you turn Me away?

I just finished this crochet teddy bear for a co-worker who just passed her bar exam. I took it into the office late last night to put it on her desk with the cross stitch design I made for her. Looking forward to getting her reaction when I go into the office tomorrow!

I’ve learned a lot since making my first amigurumi just a few weeks ago. I’ve learned how to:
These techniques definitely work at making a much better end result. I’m quite pleased with the results. I hope you are, too.
My friend / co-worker gave me permission to show the crochet teddy bear holding the stitched sampler I made her. Here it is:
