It's Counted Cross Stitch. But I am proud if it, and it is an original design

What do you guys think?

Any ideas for the next quote I can use would be appreciated! I have been told there are favourite quote threads elsewhere, but they are difficult to find, and the only one I could find quoted huge blocks of text. I don't own the books, so I'm relying on anyone who sees this for inspiration

It wasn't technically murder?

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Haha, neat!

I should have that in my sig.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'm still waiting for the tea. Anyways great work.

I think these two that were posted would make for great artwork (yes it is art).

I've always thought this quote belonged on a pillow. Maybe as a baby shower gift.

"Children are never too tender to be whipped. Like tough beefsteaks, the more you beat them, the more tender they become." - Edgar Allan Poe

Nice work! Now I expect you to have the entire series stitched into a blanket very soon.

But here is a cross stitch I made for KL earlier in the year.
