I remembered that I must have done cross stitch on a table cloth once, I think.

I did some of this when I was in my early 20s. I can't even remember what it was that I made. But I do remeber that it was fun and easier than cross stitch. Are you going to give this a try Braided Rug?

I remember how the end result is so pleasing. I guess I would have to think about trying it.
