Shiny Cross Stitch

I love gathering extras for swaps and recently completed this quick-finish Shiny Cross Stitch for one. The pattern is by Armada Designs on Etsy and is the perfect treat for your favorite Firefly fan. I stitched it up in DMC E3852 and wrapped the hoop in a sparkly baker's twine. I hope my partner likes it because I'm all sorts of in love with it! ... Read More

Don’t Panic Tea Towel

Curses Cross Stitch Hoop Art

Curses Cross Stitch Hoop Art

You know I love my swaps, and I wanted to share this recent Curses Cross Stitch Hoop Art I made for a fun one I participated in. This was a ton of fun to stitch up. The pattern is Curses by Subversive Cross Stitch. I used waste canvas on top of the fabric to give me my grid. Once I had the pattern stitched, I also did back-stitching around everything to make it stand out more. Once I was finished stitching, I just removed the waste canvas (you basically just pull the strings). ... Read More
