Where was cross stitch invented?

I make coasters and greeting cards using cross-stitch inserts. Cross stitch is commonly used to decorate baby clothing, such a bibs and quilts. It is also used extensively on women's clothing on collars, sleeves, and necklines. Cross stitching is often used to accentuate seams on slacks and vests. An over-all cross stitch pattern is used to decorate placemats, table cloths, and bedspreads, and cross stitch wall hangings. It is also very popular on Christmas stockings and to accent gift items. Counted cross stitch has been around for centuries and young girls in the early 1800's used linen and thread to create samplers of words and sayings. There are samplers from young girls as young as eight or ten that are surfacing at antique auctions and drawing big bucks. Cross Stitch can be either counted (where you use a paper pattern and count the stitches onto Aida or Linens) or stamped cross stitch meaning it is stamped on a fabric and you stitch over the inked area.
