When I was a kid I used to do cross stitch, the kind with the pattern printed on the fabric. I found it so satisfying to make each stitch. I then moved to counted cross stitch which usually frustrated me, because at some point I would mis-count. :( So I put stitching down for a long time.
Then I discovered
Sublime Stitching and started doing embroidery! I love all the different floss colors, the amazing patterns and the variation of stitches. No longer limited to X's (though sometimes an X is the perfect stitch).
Below are a few of my favorite pieces, all of which are Sublime Stitching patterns.

OH WOW!!! I really like those. I have some (embroidery) tablecloths in my cupboard that I've had for years. Every now and then I bring them out, and do a bit of stitching, then get bored and put them back in the cupboard.
