Cross Stitch Lenormand
Edited to add chart information on 2/8
I’ve wasted my whole day on this creative project so I’m going to share it with you. It isn’t perfect and some of the choices could be better but…it is what it is. All these items I stitched at one time or another. Most are on fabric. Some are on paper or vinyl. If I had some white card stock I’d be printing the cards out, so that will have to wait until I find some as no one up here seems to carry any. I give you “Cross Stitch Lenormand”.
Because I’ve had a couple of people ask below is a listing of the designer for each chart or where I found it. Keep in mind I rarely stitch something exactly as it appears on the chart.

I love your choices. Beautiful work. Who designed #20 the Garden? I would to find a copy to do.
As I remember that one is by Just Nan. She also has a winter version of the same scene. [Looks it up] Yes. High Hopes by Just Nan. The winter scene is Frosty Hopes. I should point out that I’m terrible about following charts. My version has specialty stitches in it and I stitched the bird bath and bird instead of using a charm. http://4ofwands.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/meh/
Thank you, AJ. I found it ABC Stitch Therapy so it is on my wish list.
Omigosh – I’ve been meaning to do the same thing, but just can’t get my lazy fingers to do the stitching! Congrats to you for actually being productive in the real world
It was fun to put together…I’m just not sure about taking it any farther.
