this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Quick question: is this cross-stitch or needlepoint? [link] Is there a difference between the two? I am not crafty at all (obviously).

I want to write a thank-you note for this entirely unexpected and lovely wedding gift, but I don't want to refer to it as cross-stitch if it's needlepoint, or needlepoint if it's cross-stitch.

Gods ita, I'm not sure exactly what kind of hell your workplace has become, but their timing sucks.

I'm being possessed with home project ideas. And then being thwarted because I'm picky or it is really too late at night to fire up a table saw...

Because books.

It looks a little like a hybrid to me, Tep.

That's cross-stitch.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ita !, I'm glad you got pain relief, but I wish it could be more, and permanent.

FWIW, unless CA or L.A. does it differently, when I was a DV court liaison in MO and KS, shelters would help a woman in an abusive situation file a temp restraining order day or night with the on-call judge, and restraining orders once the temp order's time was run out.

ETA: No fee.

Well, Amy's right, the whole middle part isn't really cross-stitch. But I'd still call it that, I think.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That is a crossstitch

Or if you are writing a thank you note you could use embroidery or embroidered. I don't think it is needlepoint

You could just say "needlework." Covers it all!
