I decided to go with a different type background this time. Since it is cross stitch we are doing, I figured it would be easier for me if I used something that was designed for cross stitching. This is 18 count Aida cloth that I painted.
I couldn’t decide what to do on the edges of this one. I considered doing cross stitch around it but decided that would be too busy looking. I also thought satin stitching might be too heavy, so for now I am leaving it as is.

Micki, I love your trees! What a great thought for cross stitches.
These are great - they look like pine trees.
Your cross stitch trees look great. I wouldn't have thought you could do something like that with cross stitch.
Love these trees!
Brilliant Micki I love it.
Great job...I love those trees very imaginative
Those trees are magic Micki. I think you're right to leave it as it is, too much more and you will spoil the effect.
Lovely trees. Evergreens are so majestic.
Love this. I am so in to stitching on my quilts lately.
Micki, this is surprisingly 'painterly' considering you used evenweave and a very geometric stitch. You moved the boundaries a bit. Love it!
Micki, I love the way your brain works =-) Every one of your pieces is a joy and I look forward to them...Love, love the trees!
I really like the way you've woven the cross stitches together. Very nice!
love howe you use the cross stitch
I love your cross trees too Micki, a great idea.
Trees, trees, trees, wonderful trees!
What a clever girl you are! Very nice!
What a great idea. I have been such a failure when it comes to TAST but your wonderful ATC has inspired me to get my butt into gear. I'll be picking up my needle and stitching tomorrow!
These trees are so perfect! What a beautiful idea for an ATC!
