The Goose Girl

Back in the 80's & early 90's my husband was an avid cross stitcher.
I am not sure of the name of this but we have always called her " The Goose Girl".
She is fairly large- framed in a custom frame 14" x 17".
He did not intial & date it like he should have but I think it was stitched about 22 years ago.
I tried to edit the flash reflection but could not with out losing part of the stitched piece.
This is probably my favorite out of the many items he stitched- no matter my decorating style she will always be displayed somewhere!

  1. That's an amazing piece of needlework! My old eyes won't let me crossstitch any longer but once I loved to, but never attempted such an advanced piece as The Goose Girl. One great thing about that piece, is that the colors are very prim and can go with so many ways of decorating!

  2. That is a beautiful piece of cross stitch!! He did a wonderful job and I can see why you are proud of it.
    It looks like the design may be by the same woman who did various large angels designs also.
