A surprise hit at Christmas....

I bought the older five grandkids, XL cross stitch kits for Christmas, as they looked simple and easy to make.  They are from Anchor and called Big & Easy Cross Stitch XL.  Here is a link to them on their site.  Now I bought them at Fabricland close to where I live and I got them on sale.

Here is the one that Jeina made, and she will be 8 at the end of May.  Hers was two cats kissing and she did a super job.

She was so proud of how neat and tidy her back was, as was I.  For the first time doing it she made an excellent job.

The two older girls got the London one on the site.  Sam got an "&" sign one in black to do and the two younger girls got the cats one.

I helped the Brampton crew start theirs off when they were up for a visit.  Nora did hers, as I had taught her how to cross stitch.  Not sure if Paige got hers finished or not.  

I would say for children aged 7+ they are a perfect way to introduce cross stitch.  Also it is a finished project, as it's already on a canvas so ready to hang.  Depending on what the canvas is of, these can be done in a weekend no problem.
