52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 2: "criss-cross"

I made this cross-stitch sampler for my mother-in-law
—the only Italian mama I ever knew who didn't
much care whether you ate or not—
more than 30 years ago.  She lived with us for a
year and a half before she died and the thing she liked
best about it was that she didn't have to cook!

(Now it's in my kitchen—which is appropriate, 
because I've become a reluctant cook too.)
